The estate E. Pira e Figli, which is situated in the Barolo DOCG producing region, was formerly owned by the Pira family, who were notable winemakers in the 19th century.

To ensure the continuation of her labour, the estate was given to Chiara Boschis and her parents Franco and Ida after Gigi Pira when the illustrious owner of E. Pira winery, passed away in 1980. A strong friendship already existed between the two families.

Chiara was the first woman to produce wine in the Barolo DOCG after finishing her studies at the end of the 1980s. She took a risk and gave the estate new life, both in the cellar and in the way it was produced. Expressing to Chiara his enthusiasm at working in the vineyard, her brother Giorgio joined her in 2010.

Around 11 hectares of vineyards make up the E. Pira e Figli estate, which is spread out over some of the top Barolo wine-producing regions in Langhe, southern Piedmont and they can boast being the first winery in Barolo to become organic
