2009 Barolo Via Nuova, E Pira e Figli, Piedmont
“The 2009 Barolo Via Nuova is the base Barolo and is executed in the most classic fashion. The wine started as a single-vineyard expression, but Chiara later decided to blend fruit from various sites to reflect the methods used to make traditional Barolo. The wine is elegant and streamlined with bright accents of wild berry, mint and licorice. “ 94+ points, Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
