Chiara Boschis

Chiara Boschis retains the honor of the first female winemaker in the Langhe, and though she came from a family of Barolisti, she braved many obstacles in the 1990s to earn that title. She ran the estate essentially by herself for twenty years, but after the sale of Borgogno in 2008, her brother Giorgio joined Chiara at E. Pira.

E. Pira E Figli was the first estate in Cannubi to convert to organic farming. She has worked tirelessly over the last few years to convince the rest of the growers in the district to join the “CannuBIO Project” and become organic. On a production level, a balance has been struck between innovation and tradition, aiming to bring elegance and balance to a traditionally structured and austere wine.

The work on the vines, strictly manual, is carried out with extreme care and respect for the environment, following the principles of organic farming, for which the company has been certified since the 2014 harvest. The production is very limited (around 40,000 bottles annually), sourced from directly produced grapes.
