Cork Talk with Chiara Boschis

Chiara Boschis comes from a historic winemaking family in Piedmont but she had to struggle to follow the same career as her other siblings. Taking over the E. Pira winery in Barolo in 1990, she became one of the most important members of a new, modernising group of winemakers, the Barolo girl among the so-called Barolo boys. Committed to organic viticulture and a lover of Nebbiolo, she’s a fascinating guide to Italy’s greatest wine region.

To read more about Chiara have a look at the E Pira website. You can also follow her on Instagram at @chiaraboschis_pira.
