About E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis
The journey of Chiara Boschis started with an unexpected tragedy, but in 1981 the winery managed to recover and accomplish an astonishing recovery, to become a major player in the Barolo Revolution, thanks to the current owners, the Borchis family. Today, the Borchis family has 11 hectares split between Barolo, Monforte, and Serralunga. They practice sustainable winemaking every step of the way, working hard to take care of the beautiful nature in Langhe. The family makes Dolcetto d Alba, Barbera d Alba Superiore, Langhe Nebbiolo, Barolo Via Nuova, Barolo Mosconi, and Barolo Cannubi. Apart from the Dolcetto, all the wines spend some time in small oak barrels. The percentage of new oak varies, but you ll usually find 1/3 new, 1/3 second passage and 1/3 three passages or more. Cannubi is the most famous Cru in Barolo, with a history dating all the way back to the 1970's. This historical Cru is also known as a Grand Cru of the area and is easily the Borchis family's most recognized wine. And I am all for the Barolo s, but let s take a step back and talk about the Barbera d Alba Superiore. The Borchis family decided to use small barrels instead of big barrels in the winemaking something that was highly uncommon at that time. It wasn t the only change they've made; along with the introduction of barrique came longer maceration and fermentation times as well as a reduction of grapes per vine in the vineyard, also known as 'Green Harvest'.
