Chiara Boschis

Chiara Boschis is one of Barolo 's most influential winemakers and is at the helm of the historic E. Pira & Figli estate . Perhaps a bit strangely, but the winery is now simply known as Chiara Boschis . She is considered a key figure in the modern Barolo generation and played a significant role in revitalizing the Barolo style, without losing the character of Nebbiolo.

From family heritage to your own path

Chiara Boschis took over the family business in the late 1980s, becoming one of the first women to independently run a Barolo estate. In a traditionally male-dominated domain, she consciously chose her own path, focusing more on precision, vineyard work, and balance.

Why is Chiara Boschis so important to Barolo?
Because she demonstrated that modernization can go hand in hand with respect for terroir and tradition. She is also the initiator of Cannubi's consciously organic approach.
