Pira \u0026amp; Figli owns its own vineyards. The Barbera vines are planted in the lower elevations of the same plots that produce the estate's top-quality Barolo, with an average vine age of around 45 years. The soils are of Elvesian origin, rich in limestone and marl, which gives the wine extra structure and elegance. Chiara Boschis works as an artisan winemaker: all work in the vineyards is done by hand and according to organic principles, with a strong focus on low yields and perfect grape ripeness. This results in a Barbera d'Alba Superiore that clearly bears the signature of the Barolo hills, but in a more accessible, fruit-driven form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1658\" data-start=\"1631\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-end=\"2379\" data-start=\"1660\"\u003eIn the cellar, Chiara Boschis follows a method that combines traditional and modern techniques, always with the aim of revealing the grape and its origins as purely as possible. The hand-harvested Barbera is carefully selected and fermented with a gentle approach, ensuring optimal extraction of color and aromas without harshening the tannins. After fermentation, the wine is aged for approximately 16 months in second-use French oak barriques, followed by a further 2 to 3 months of bottle aging before release. This choice of used oak adds complexity, spice, and a creamier texture, while allowing the Barbera's fruit and freshness to clearly shine through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"2406\" data-start=\"2381\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"2775\" data-start=\"2408\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-end=\"2457\" data-start=\"2408\"\u003eBarbera – lower parts of Barolo vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr data-end=\"2460\" data-start=\"2457\"\u003eThis Barbera d'Alba Superiore is 100% Barbera from the estate's own vineyards, from the lower parts of the plots that produce the estate's best Barolo.

The finish is long and luscious, again with abundant fruit and a lively, almost mouthwatering freshness. Serve this Barbera d'Alba Superiore ideally between 16 and 18°C. At the table, it pairs perfectly with cured meats and salumi, filled pasta such as agnolotti or ravioli, roasted or grilled meats, and rich, crispy fried dishes, where its combination of power and freshness makes it a distinctly gastronomic wine.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ad Bibendum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44336799809615,"sku":"AB-016685","price":34.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/ChiaraBoschisBarberadAlbaSuperiore.webp?v=1768230348"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/collections\/chiara-boschis.webp?v=1768229787","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/wijnhuis-chiara-boschis.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
