Dolcetto d'Alba doc E. Pira & Figli Chiara Boschis 2018

The Dolcetto d’Alba of Pira is produced with grapes that come from wine yards situated in the Barolo district, in the Langhe heart. This wine has a great ruby red color with violet reflexes and a young and fresh bouquet, with fruity and floral scents. The taste is harmonic and persistent, with a good acidity, equilibrated tannins, long and complex final. This Dolcetto d’Alba is perfect if drunk with first courses, white meat and aging cheeses.

Pira family asserts as wine producer between the end of 800 and the beginning of the 900. Gigi Pira, the creator of this cave, was really attached to the tradition, in fact he was the last wine maker who still effected the wine pressing with the foot, without the help of any innovative technique. The cave is managed by Cristina Boschis from many years: all along she is passionate of wine and vineyards. Cristina has introduced lots of innovations in the winery: the work in the vineyards is manual, but she respects the environment.
