A bright ruby color, the 2021 Barolo Via Nuova is pure and inviting, offering deeper notes of fresh cherries, orange peel, incense, and toasted spice. Medium-bodied, with ripe tannins and excellent balance, it carries both richness and clarity, finishing long with a mix of fruit, spice, and subtle salinity. This compelling and layered wine should age very well. Drink 2026-2045.
96 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
This wine represents a blend of fruit from various sites, and 15,000 bottles were created. Showing a classical profile, the E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2021 Barolo Via Nuova delivers a firm sense of inner fiber and richness with dark blueberry and black fruit. These aromas are enhanced by ethereal tones of blue flower and aniseed. The tannins are slightly more approachable in this wine compared to the Mosconi, but the intensity and richness of the mouthfeel is about the same.
96 Points Vinous
The 2021 Barolo Via Nuova is a gorgeous, poised wine . Bright and energetic, with tons of drive, the 2021 has so much to offer. Brisk acids and veins of tannin shape this dynamic mid-weight Barolo. Blood orange, plum, chalk and rose petal are some of the many notes that come alive with aeration. The Via Nuova is a gorgeous wine in the making, but it needs a few years to be at its most expressive.
96 Points Wine Spectator
A fleshy, vibrant red, featuring cherry, plum, green olive, iron, tar and tobacco flavors. There™s intensity and viscosity midpalate, while the aftertaste stretches out, echoing the fruit, savory and mineral components. Shows superb balance and length; this just needs time. Best from 2029 through 2048
96 Points James Suckling
An intense Barolo with aromas of Parma violets, cinnamon, restrained blood oranges, cherries and licorice. Incredibly precise and defined. Full-bodied on the powerful and graceful palate, with velvety tannins and refreshing, lifted acidity. A lot of substance, with a crunchy style and balance. Long, licorice aftertaste. Best after 2027.
