Beginning as one of just two female winemakers in the Langhe when she took over the historic E. Pira & Figli winery in 1981, it is no exaggeration to say that Chiara’s determination, charm and style has inspired not just a generation of women in wine, but winemakers and lovers of beautifully crafted Nebbiolo. Now joined by her brother Giorgio the two have expanded both the cellar and vineyard holdings to include Mosconi and Ravera in Monforte and Gabutti and Baudana in Serralunga. Chiara’s attention to detail in the vineyard results in impeccable fruit, crafted into wines that marry superb aromatics with lush textures that are, above all, a delight to drink.
