| | "Chiara Boschis made some of the most thrilling wines of the vintage.
'For me, 2019 opens a new cycle of growing seasons, all marked by intense heat in the summer,' she told me. The 2019s saw two weeks on the skins, followed by malolactic fermentation in steel. 'It is important to me to vinify all the lots the same way so that what comes through is the personality of each site. We do a few pump-overs daily and gently turn the rotary tanks.' The wines were racked into oak between December and January and then raised with no racking. Wines from Barolo and Serralunga are aged in casks, while those from Monforte are raised in smaller French oak casks. In recent years, Chiara Boschis has been at the top. Her 2019s are positively stellar."Antonio Galloni, Vinous |
| | | | "Chiara Boschis was the first producer to earn a certification for organic [farming] in the town of Barolo. She makes three outstanding expressions of Barolo: Barolo Cannubi (in Barolo); the Barolo Mosconi (from newly acquired vineyards in Monforte d’Alba); and the Barolo Via Nuova, which is a blend of fruit from six sites: Terlo and Liste (in Barolo), Ravera di Monforte and Mosconi (in Monforte d’Alba), and Gabutti and Baudana (in Serralunga d’Alba). She also launched the Cannubi Biologico initiative, which seeks to convert all producers who work in the Cannubi MGA to organics. So far, her grassroots movement has won over 25 of the 28 winegrowers present there. 'We fight with a bow and arrow, not with a nuclear bomb,' says Chiara Boschis of her ongoing efforts ..."

| | ‣ "A deeper, more opaque hue, the 2021 Barbera d'Alba Superiore offers notes of graphite, lavender, and plum. It is medium to full-bodied but doesn't feel weighted and has fresh acidity and sweet tannins. Its notes of berries and fresh herbs last long on a clean finish."

| | | | ‣ "The 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo is fruit-forward with its aromas and is noted with ripe raspberry and a darker mineral profile. It also displays more richness in the palate as well as more structure, with comparatively broad shoulders, while retaining great purity. An outstanding red ..."

| | | | ‣ "More citrus character emerges from the 2019 Barolo Via Nuova, which is lifted, elegant, and fresh with orange peel. On the palate, it has outstanding energy, with finely coiled tannins, more linear drive, and refreshing energy in its notes of pomegranate, raspberry, and crushed stones. I love this wine now, and it will be fantastic over the coming decades."

| | | | ‣ "The 2019 Barolo Mosconi is the most potent of the three Barolos in the range. It exudes Monforte darkness and virile intensity from the very first taste. Black cherry, plum, mocha, sage, tar, lavender and spice infuse the 2019 with tons of character. This is one of the most elegant wines I have ever tasted from Mosconi, a site that does not naturally lend itself to finesse."

| | | | ‣ "The 2019 Barolo Cannubi is flat-out stunning. Rich and beautifully textured, the 2019 dazzles from start to finish. Freshly cut flowers, mint, crushed red berry fruit, orange peel, salt and dried herbs are some of the many notes that grace this exquisite, wonderfully nuanced Barolo from Chiara Boschis. Sweet floral and spice overtones build into the finish. The precision here is unreal. Aging in cask works so well here. What a wine."
