Tasting Notes
From the most important grape of the Langa a wine is born that is an introduction to the King of Wines. The grapes come from a dedicated vineyard and from the so-called buffer zones: rows bordering on non-organic vineyards of other producers. It has a ruby red color, tending to garnet and with purple reflections. Sweet and fruity scents on the nose. In the mouth, tannins are not intrusive and balanced by acidity. - Winery Note
The Boschis family purchased E. Pira & Figli in 1981, propelling the young Chiara into a role significantly different to that intended by her economics degree. The family was, until recently, proprietors of Barolo's historic Giacomo Borgogno estate (Chiara originally learnt her wine-making skills from her brothers) but she brought her considerable determination, charm, patience and confidence to bear on raising the quality and image of Pira to that which it enjoys today. Her philosophy is to craft wines that marry the extraordinary power of Barolo with approachability, promoting great aromatics, lush textures and elegance. This has been achieved through strict vineyard management, careful selection and impeccable vinification techniques. Beginning as one of only two female oenologists working in Barolo, Chiara is nowadays regarded as every bit the equal of her peers.
Chiara has recently been joined by her brother Giorgio, and the two have expanded their Barolo vineyards to now include Mosconi and Ravera in Monforte and Gabutti in Serralunga.
