Tasting note
Colour & Appearance
A medium, transparent cherry red presents itself in the glass of this impressive magnum bottle.
Nase
The wine exudes a fine and distinctly charming aroma. It is dominated by ripe cherries and juicy plums, elegantly underpinned by spicy cinnamon, delicate mandorla, fresh blood orange, as well as notes of mint and fragrant roses.
Palate
On the palate, this medium-bodied Nebbiolo presents itself with considerable firmness and drive. It shows itself to be astonishingly accessible and floral already, carried by a lively, energetic acid structure and ripe, finely woven tannins. A wine of great inner dynamism and balance.
Terroir & Origin
The grapes for this historic cuvée come from six first-class parcels in three different communes of the Barolo region: Terlo and Liste (commune of Barolo), Gabutti and Baudana (Serralunga d’Alba), as well as Ravera di Monforte and Mosconi (Monforte d’Alba). Since 2014, the entire estate of Chiara Boschis has been officially certified organic.
Grape Variety & Vinification
Single-varietal Nebbiolo of the Michet and Lampia varieties. The harvest took place in early October and was completed by 12 October. Fermentation took place in rotary fermenters with pump-overs twice daily, followed by a 14-day maceration period. After malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine matured for over two years in French oak casks and barriques.
Food Pairings
Excellent with classic Piedmontese meat dishes such as braised beef in Barolo (Brasato), fine game dishes like saddle of venison with cranberries, or matured hard cheeses such as the regional Castelmagno cheese.
Special Features
The Via Nuova cuvée was originally a single-vineyard site (cru), which was, however, officially renamed in 2010. Chiara Boschis held onto the historic name and reinterpreted it as a masterly assemblage from three communes. In the 1.5-litre magnum bottle, this wine possesses an even greater ageing potential and a fascinating, slow development in the cellar.
