Cantine

Pira is an old family of viticulturists that, between the end of '800 and the beginning of '900, became wine-producers. Now Chiara Boschis, after a degree in Economics, manages the farm following her passion for wine and believing in this "great small farm". The output is still very small (about 12,000 bottles each year) and the wine is exclusively made from grapes grown in our vineyard (about two and a half hectares located in Connubi, one of the best vineyards in Barolo). As one of few women winemakers in the Langhe, she is necessarily of unquestionable confidence, determination, patience and charm. She took over the reins at E. Pira e Figli in 1990 with a clear idea of what she wanted to accomplish: to marry the extraordinary power of Barolo with approachability, enticing elegance, and lush, intense aromas. She achieves this goal through strict vineyard management, careful selection, and impeccable vinification techniques: shortened maceration, malolactic fermentation, and aging in barriques.
