Barolo 'Via Nuova' DOCG - Organic

Barolo crafted by a woman — specifically, by Chiara Boschis, one of the most influential figures in modern Barolo history. Her wines represent a style that doesn't see power and elegance as opposites, but rather unites them.

Chiara comes from a family that has been producing wine for eight generations. In 1981, her family acquired a 400-year-old estate with 2.5 hectares of vineyards in Piedmont—including a share of Cannubi, one of the most prestigious single vineyards in the entire Barolo region. As the only woman in a group of influential winemakers such as Altare, Clerico, and Sandrone, she actively drove the stylistic evolution of Barolo in the 1990s. Her first barrel-aged Barolo immediately received three glasses from Gambero Rosso. Since then, she has worked entirely by hand—from pruning the vines to moving the barrels in the underground cellar.

In the glass, the "Via Nuova" displays Mediterranean herbal spice: thyme, rosemary, along with sloe and a hint of roasted almond. The tannins are present but finely polished, the acidity gives the wine structure without harshness — a Barolo with a clear line and a long finish.

Serving temperature 17–18 °C , ideally decanted for one hour. Pairs well with braised beef, venison ragù, or mature Parmigiano Reggiano.

Azienda Agricola E. Pira & Figli - Chiara Boschis

Azienda Agricola E. Pira & Figli, led by the trailblazing winemaker Chiara Boschis, is a historic estate located in the heart of Barolo, Piedmont. Originally belonging to the Pira family, the winery was acquired by the Boschis family in 1980. Chiara Boschis took over full management in the late 1980s, becoming one of the first female winemakers in the region and a key member of the 'Barolo Boys' group who modernized and revolutionized Barolo production to combine power with approachable elegance. The estate manages about 11 hectares of vineyards across top municipalities and was the first in Cannubi to convert fully to organic farming. Every step from pruning to cellaring is handled with meticulous manual care to produce highly expressive, limited-production wines.
