Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
A deep, bold cherry red of astonishing density and minimal transparency.
Nose
On the nose, this Nebbiolo presents itself as dark, complex and immensely multifaceted. A layered interplay of cassis, blackberries and blueberries combines with savoury notes of beef, leather and undergrowth. A violet ether of lavender and violets meets hints of liquorice, fine tobacco and a cool trace of mint.
Palate
On the palate, the wine presents itself as immensely juicy, grippy and full of power. The cool nights of Monforte lend it a focused elegance and remarkable structural clarity. The dark fruit meets earthy nuances and fine spice, supported by an extremely fine-grained, structured tannic architecture. Despite its monumental substance, it retains a fascinating finesse thanks to floral nuances.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes originate from the oldest plots of the three-hectare Mosconi site in Monforte d’Alba at an altitude of around 400 metres. The soil is characterized by calcareous clay marls, siliceous sandstone, and inclusions of calcium carbonate and iron. Chiara Boschis’ estate has been certified organic since 2014.
Grape Variety & Vinification
A Nebbiolo made from the Michet and Lampia clones. Following hand-harvesting in early October, fermentation took place in rotary tanks with a 14-day maceration period. The ageing process extended over two years in French oak casks and barriques. As a Barolo pioneer, Chiara Boschis relies on shorter maceration times and oak wood to ensure earlier accessibility alongside tremendous ageing potential.
Pairing Recommendations
Excellent with long-simmered braised beef, rare fillet of beef, hearty wild boar goulash or mature Pecorino.
Special Features
As the first woman to lead a Langhe winery, Chiara Boschis shaped the Barolo Boys. This rare 3000ml double magnum format provides the perfect microclimate for decades of ageing for this organically grown Barolo classic.
