The 2018 Barolo Cannubi is widely celebrated as a standout of the vintage. It opens with seductive nebbiolo aromas—wild berries, rose, dried lilac, and a touch of white truffle set on a soft mineral base—with floral notes shining through a richly evocative core. The palate is elegantly full-bodied, with silky, fully integrated tannins and ethereal precision. Critics are effusive: 97 points from Wine Advocate, 94 from James Suckling, 94 from The Wine Independent, and 93 from Vinous, all underscoring its harmonious balance, aromatics, and graceful aging trajectory.
E. Pira & Figli, now helmed by Chiara Boschis—one of the pioneering women in Barolo—represents the union of deep-rooted tradition and modern viticultural vision in the Langhe. Chiara embraced full organic conversion in the celebrated Cannubi cru, becoming the first in the area to do so, and tirelessly advocates for organic practices among neighboring growers. Her leadership reflects an unwavering commitment to terroir expression, minimal intervention, and precision—qualities that place her among Barolo’s most revered producers today.
