"Complex, fruity and solidly built, this red features cherry, strawberry, rose, green olive, leather, iron and tar flavors. Succulent and beautifully balanced, with its dense, assertive tannins well-integrated. Ends with a detailed, mouthwatering aftertaste. Best from 2030 through 2050.—B.S." 98pts The Wine Spectator 'Hot Wines' Sept 2025
"The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2021 Barolo Mosconi is structured, linear and ultimately quite mineral in character compared to the Cannubi. Its firm underlying architecture is rendered light and fragrant thanks to aromas of blue flower, grilled herb (with both rosemary and aniseed) and pulverized stone. Fruit comes from a site in Monforte d'Alba at a cool 370 meters in elevation. I came back to this bottle 24 hours after my first tasting and remarked on the elegant, chalky nature of the tannins. 9,000 bottles were produced." 97+pts Monica Larner The Wine Advocate

"Monforte d’Alba. Lustrous mid crimson. Deep cherry and raspberry with notes of cinnamon which, with aeration, change into complex, perfumed oak. Lush and juicy at the same time, but still very closed. The fruit is perfectly filled out with finely chiselled tannins. Gorgeous balance." (WS)
