It stands out for its \u003cstrong\u003eintense garnet red\u003c\/strong\u003e colour and a deep bouquet, where hints of rosewater and peony intertwine with notes of wild berries, tobacco, and delicate spices. On the palate, its \u003cstrong\u003emajestic structure\u003c\/strong\u003e supports a full and enveloping sip, characterised by lively yet velvety tannins. This complex texture and long finish pair perfectly with red meat dishes, game, braised meats, and mature cheeses, preferably after decanting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo\u003c\/strong\u003e originates from the \u003cstrong\u003eoldest vineyard\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Chiara Boschis winery, located in \u003cstrong\u003eMonforte d’Alba\u003c\/strong\u003e at around four hundred metres above sea level. The vines sink their roots into ancient Helvetian soils, composed of alternating grey \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous-clay marls\u003c\/strong\u003e and siliceous sandstones. In some areas of the vineyard, the presence of calcium carbonate and iron gives the soil pinkish hues. This specific geological composition is fundamental in giving the wine solidity and exceptional ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlcoholic fermentation takes place with the \u003cstrong\u003ecap emerged\u003c\/strong\u003e in temperature-controlled steel tanks. During this phase, frequent \u003cstrong\u003epumping over and punching down\u003c\/strong\u003e allow for optimal extraction of colour and structure. The wine then matures for at least two years in \u003cstrong\u003elightly toasted French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. This careful passage in wood refines its aromatic complexity and softens the tannins before a final rest in the bottle for about a year, resulting in a harmonious, dry, and persistent sip.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe superb \u003cstrong\u003eBarolo Mosconi 2021\u003c\/strong\u003e by Chiara Boschis comes to life from the oldest vineyard of the estate in Monforte d’Alba, whose roots delve into prized calcareous-clay marls. The structure of this exceptional organic DOCG \u003cstrong\u003ered wine\u003c\/strong\u003e matures through a skilful ageing process of two years in French oak barrels and a further year in the bottle. Housed in the traditional Albeisa bottle and celebrated with 98 points by James Suckling, this wine faithfully expresses the soul of Piedmont, offering a \u003cstrong\u003efull and persistent sip\u003c\/strong\u003e of absolute and majestic elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pira E. \u0026 Figli - Chiara Boschis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45841789911211,"sku":"59141","price":968.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/pira-chiara-boschis-barolo-mosconi-2021_59141_1_f3b0d378-a85f-4718-9916-8ba35cc628d0.webp?v=1773796257","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-hk\/products\/pira-chiara-boschis-barolo-mosconi-2021","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
