Pira-Chiara Boschis Barolo Via Nuova 2021

96 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Barolo Via Nuova is a gorgeous, poised wine . Bright and energetic, with tons of drive, the 2021 has so much to offer. Brisk acids and veins of tannin shape this dynamic mid-weight Barolo. Blood orange, plum, chalk and rose petal are some of the many notes that come alive with aeration. The Via Nuova is a gorgeous wine in the making, but it needs a few years to be at its most expressive. Drink: 2028-2041. (Jan 2025)"

96 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "This wine represents a blend of fruit from various sites, and 15,000 bottles were created. Showing a classical profile, the E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2021 Barolo Via Nuova delivers a firm sense of inner fiber and richness with dark blueberry and black fruit. These aromas are enhanced by ethereal tones of blue flower and aniseed. The tannins are slightly more approachable in this wine compared to the Mosconi, but the intensity and richness of the mouthfeel is about the same. Drink 2026-2050 (Jan 2025)"

96 points Jacobo Garcia-Andrade Llamas (JamesSuckling.com): "An intense Barolo with aromas of Parma violets, cinnamon, restrained blood oranges, cherries and licorice. Incredibly precise and defined. Full-bodied on the powerful and graceful palate, with velvety tannins and refreshing, lifted acidity. A lot of substance, with a crunchy style and balance. Long, licorice aftertaste. Best after 2027. (1/8/25)"

93-95 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "All the parts come together nicely in the 2021 Barolo Via Nuova, which walks a fine line between depth and levity, with hints of mocha, blue fruit, black raspberries, and rocky soil. Medium-bodied, it’s already delicious, with refined but persistent tannins. (5/13/24)"
