"We wanted to make Barolo the best we could." That was the vision of E Pira E Figli owner Chiara Boschis when creating her Barolo. Considering the high demand and rising price tag, she’s made the dream a reality.
Critics Scores
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2001 Barolo Cannubi is a pretty wine, but despite its considerable charms, it remains heavily marked by French oak, which was 100 new in this vintage. There is plenty of intensity in the dark fruit, along with pretty suggestions of flowers, spices and mint that add complexity. Still, I can’t help wondering what the 2001 might have been like with a less overt use of French oak. A recent magnum was naturally fresher than the normal bottle. I would prefer to drink the 2001 sooner rather than later.
Wine Spectator
Wild and funky with an exotic undertone. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, long finish. Gorgeous and seductive.
