A AUSTRALIA'S WINE LIST OF THE YEAR AWARDS · ESTD. 1993 ·

Allocation TwoAugust 2026

E. Pira & Figli by Chiara Boschis

Piedmont · New arrivals and a very limited allocation

These are incredibly sought after wines from Piedmont in north western Italy, the famous Barolo producing region. This is the only annual allocation and they will not stretch far, or for long. I attended an event in Melbourne last week with Chiara's niece Beatrice visiting, and it was a wonderful insight to these new release wines.

Single bottles, strictly limited. Bottle limits are shown against each wine.

E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis Langhe Nebbiolo 2024

From Ravera in Monforte, a youthful expression of Nebbiolo and a great introduction to the variety and the house style. Aged in old barriques for 14 months, it is bright and juicy with red berry fruit, peach and spice, the palate gently tannic and refreshing.

Bottle of E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis 'Via Nuova' Barolo 2022

Bin 3 Barolo

E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis ‘Via Nuova’ Barolo 2022

A blend of fruit from various prestigious sites long under the stewardship of this estate, assembled carefully to deliver exceptional balance and tension.

Delicate layers of dark fruit, pressed rose, blood orange and grilled herb unfold with precision, and although some wines from 2022 show extra tannic firmness, this wine is instead gracefully silky and elongated, offering a sense of ethereal lightness alongside notable depth. It has an accessible side for medium-term drinking, but it also has the structure for longer cellar aging.Monica Larner, 94 points

Drink with Roasted duck.

Bin 4 Barolo

E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis Barolo Chinato

A unique sweeter style made by Chiara’s niece Beatrice, a true up and coming talent in Piedmont. Produced in very small quantities, it begins with mature estate-grown Barolo before being fortified and aromatised with a proprietary infusion of around 30 herbs, spices and barks. Cinchona bark is at the heart of it and provides the signature quinine bitterness. Sicilian orange peel, rhubarb, cardamom and warming spices follow. The Barolo remains present, but well behind the complex layers of spice and herb.

Drink with Strong flavoured cheeses, or rich chocolate desserts.
