From the distinguished vineyards of E Pira and Figli (Chiara Boschis), I present to you the 2018 Barolo Cannubi - a wine that is the epitome of Italian excellence. Hailing from the renowned Piedmont region, this wine is the embodiment of the area's rich viticultural heritage and the mastery of the producer.
Crafted from the Nebbiolo grape, the 'king of wines and wine of kings', the 2018 vintage is a testament to the finesse and grace of this varietal. As one would expect from a premium Barolo, it boasts an exquisite balance of power and elegance. The color is a tantalizing red, a hint at the sensory journey that awaits on the palate.
On the nose, it presents an intoxicating bouquet of tart cherries, roses, and hints of tar - a signature character of Nebbiolo. A few moments of aeration allow the wine to reveal its underlying complexity, with notes of truffle and spice adding depth.
Upon tasting, the 2018 Barolo Cannubi does not disappoint. It is full-bodied and robust, yet with a finesse that allows the flavors to unfold gracefully across the palate. The tannins are firm but well integrated, lending structure to the wine without overwhelming the fruit. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of the wine's character and its origin in the prestigious Cannubi sub-appellation.
The 2018 E Pira and Figli (Chiara Boschis) Barolo Cannubi is a wine for the connoisseur, a true representation of the Nebbiolo varietal, the Piedmont region and the passionate producer. It is an expression of the terroir, a wine that speaks of the place and year of its creation. It is not just a wine, but a narrative of tradition and innovation.
