Barolo Via Nuova 2018 - E.Pira - Chiara Boschis
€74.00
Tax included
Via Nuova was the name of a small vineyard located close to the inhabited center of Barolo. Its name derives from the proximity to the road (new, in the last century) that connected Barolo to Novello. Of that road today only a path remains in the middle of the vineyards, which can be covered on foot. For years it was vinified in purity until the Municipality of Barolo, by reorganizing the Additional Geographical Mentions (which came into force in 2010), decided to incorporate it into a larger sub-area, characterized by the name Terlo.
The 2018 Barolo Via Nuova is marked by palpable brightness and tension that lend energy. Like all of these wines, the 2018 is restrained in feel, but all the elements are so well balanced. Freshly cut flowers, mint, crushed rocks, chalk and white pepper give the Via Nuova notable energy. Intense veins of supporting tannin and minerality provide the backbone Chiara Boschis turned out a set of beautiful and expressive Barolos in 2018 that in some ways remind me of the 2012s. Boschis shortened fermentations a touch, as many growers did, to about nine days for the Cannubi and Mosconi and about 11 days for the Via Nuova vineyards. Malos were all done in steel. As has been the case here in recent years, the Barolos are aged in a combination of cask and smaller neutral French oak, with a preference for cask for the more delicate wines of Barolo and smaller barrels for the firmer wines of Monforte and Serralunga.
