Barbera d'Alba Superiore 2023
The Barbera d'Alba Superiore by Chiara Boschis (an esteemed artisanal benchmark in Barolo) is a masterful, elegant, and deeply expressive iteration of Piedmont’s beloved Barbera. Sourced from estate-owned vineyards rooted in classic Helvetian soils (calcareous-sandy marls native to Barolo's premier crus), this wine successfully bridges robust structural power with the hallmark elegance of Chiara Boschis's winemaking vision.
Cellar protocols embrace meticulous care: following fermentation, the wine matures for approximately 16 months in second-passage French oak barriques, followed by 2–3 months of bottle refinement. The judicious choice of seasoned second-year oak rounds out the palate and builds sophisticated aromatic depth while preserving vibrant fruit purity, resulting in a full-bodied, refined, and impeccably balanced Barbera Superiore.
