Barolo Cannubi 2021

The Barolo DOCG 'Cannubi' by E. Pira & Figli – Chiara Boschis stands as one of the undisputed icons and benchmark expressions of the entire Barolo appellation. Located in the core of the Barolo commune, the historic Cannubi hill represents the ultimate Grand Cru terroir of the Langhe, famous for its unique geological convergence of Sant'Agata Fossili Marls (Tortonian) and Diano Sandstones (Serravallian). As the first female winemaker among the revolutionary 'Barolo Boys,' Chiara Boschis seamlessly bridges precise organic viticulture, controlled extraction, and an uncompromised commitment to site specificity.

Cellar practice reflects meticulous precision: hand-harvesting with strict sorting, temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats, and a 2-to-3-week skin maceration. Maturation takes place over **approximately 24 months in French oak, followed by extensive bottle refinement. Chiara Boschis' Cannubi emerges as an exceptionally graceful, aristocratic Barolo—soaring with aromas of wild cherry, dried rose petals, sweet spice, and balsamic undertones, anchored by velvety, fine-grained tannins and remarkable cellaring potential.
