The 2021 Barolo Via Nuova is a gorgeous, poised wine . Bright and energetic, with tons of drive, the 2021 has so much to offer. Brisk acids and veins of tannin shape this dynamic mid-weight Barolo. Blood orange, plum, chalk and rose petal are some of the many notes that come alive with aeration. The Via Nuova is a gorgeous wine in the making, but it needs a few years to be at its most expressive. 2028 - 2041

Chiara Boschis and her niece, Beatrice, presented a beautiful set of 2021 Barolos. Harvest took place in early October. All the fruit was in by October 12. The wines were fermented in rotary tanks with two pumpovers a day and spent 14 days on the skins. Malolactic fermentations were also done in steel. Aging was done in a combination of cask and smaller French oak barrels. Two thousand twenty-one is an extremely strong vintage here. Readers will have a very hard time picking a favorite. I certainly did.

This wine represents a blend of fruit from various sites, and 15,000 bottles were created. Showing a classical profile, the E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2021 Barolo Via Nuova delivers a firm sense of inner fiber and richness with dark blueberry and black fruit. These aromas are enhanced by ethereal tones of blue flower and aniseed. The tannins are slightly more approachable in this wine compared to the Mosconi, but the intensity and richness of the mouthfeel is about the same.
