2021 E. Pira (Chiara Boschis) Dolcetto d'Alba

The Boschis family purchased E.Pira & Figli in 1981, propelling the young Chiara into a role significantly different to that intended with her economics degree. The family were proprietors of Barolo’s historic Giacomo Borgogno estate, where Chiara originally learnt her winemaking skills. Her philosophy is to craft wines that marry the extraordinary power of Barolo with approachability and the Pira wines are all about elegance, great aromatics and lush textures. This has been achieved through strict vineyard management, careful selection and impeccable vinification techniques. In her vineyards, Chiara has always worked without chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides and the wines have been certified organic since the 2014 vintage.

From Monforte (Ravera and Le Coste), this Dolcetto is fermented and aged in stainless steel to produce a racy wine with bright blue fruits, spice and floral notes, the tannins ripe and round.

Other Reviews....
A jeweled ruby, the 2021 Dolcetto D'Alba is fresh with red and black berries and is medium-bodied and stony in texture, with fresh lift and fine sweet tannins. A joyful wine with wonderful energy, it leans in the red-fruited realm an delivers lift as well as fantastic charm. It is a lovely Dolcetto to drink over the next 5-7 years. Drink 2023 - 2030.
