WAIT-LIST ONLY! Barolo Dinner in Mo'town - The Legendary Chiara Boschis of E. Pira @ South + Pine...
Tuesday September 10, 2024 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
Breaking news, Italian wine fans! Our great friend and one of the original “Barolo Boys”, Chiara Boschis of E. Pira is coming to South + Pine for a CAN’T MISS pairing dinner! SIGN UP NOW! Barolo & Brunello fans take note…
WAIT LIST ONLY
Join us on Tuesday, September 10th at 6:30PM @ South + Pine as we welcome one of Piedmont’s finest winemakers, Chiara Boschis, and her absolutely stunning line-up highlighted by her world class Barolo! When our importer let us know that she would be in the market for a few days next month we only had one thought on our mind…WINE DINNER!
One of the most important growers in all of Italy, Chiara now has eleven hectares of vines under cultivation in the communes of Barolo, Serralunga and Monforte d’Alba. She retains the honor of the first female winemaker in the Langhe, and though she came from a family of Barolisti, she braved incredible obstacles in the 1990s to earn that title. She is, by necessity, of unquestionable confidence, determination, patience and charm. She ran the estate essentially by herself for twenty years, but after the sale of Borgogno in 2008, her brother Giorgio became a free agent. In 2010, he, his wife Daniella and their three daughters joined Chiara at E. Pira, which provided not only a welcome division of labor, but also a next generation of female successors: Beatrice, Elena and Vittoria Boschis, Giorgio and Daniella’s daughters, are already enjoying their experiences at the “new” family winery! Chiara Boschis was the first estate in Cannubi to convert to organic farming, but she didn’t stop there! Chiara has worked tirelessly over the last few years to convince the rest of the growers in the district to become organic!
From the local burrata to the Braised Short Ribs, my mouth is watering just writing this email. Chiara’s wines are wonderfully terroir-driven and elegant making this dinner ideal for any lover of world-class Italian wine! We are expecting a great response for this event, so please let us know ASAP if you would like to attend!
