Description

Chiara Boschis is one of the most influential female producers in the Barolo wine world. She was one of the first female figures to expose herself to the market and to make the greatness of the Langa territory known to the World in the 1980s, going absolutely against the tide with respect to the canons of the time where the figure of winemaker was only up to men. His desire to get involved and be in the land was so great…thanks to his friendship with the Pira family of Barolo (where he unfortunately lacked an heir), he was finally able to fulfill his dream and produce his own wine. The winery is located right in the town of Barolo and is named after the founder E. Pira, precisely to honor him and his invaluable help.
The winery produces only 40000 bottles in total among the various Barolo, Nebbiolo and Barbera wines and manages among the best vineyards in the whole area. Chiara’s importance was because of her technique and tenacity. She was one of the first to understand how to use small barrels for aging, creating wines, but especially softer, less angular Barolos. Big, gritty wines that made history.
