Chiara Boschis' 2005s have developed into gorgeous Barolos. The wines are exquisitely perfumed. At the time, the wines were fermented and aged in French oak barrels, with a significant presence of new oak. The Via Nuova was also a true single-vineyard Barolo whereas today it is made from a blend of several sites.

The always energetic Chiara Boschis is among the producers who did quite well in 2005. Boschis gave her 2005 Barolos 70% new oak, down from the 100% that was once the norm, and the wines show greater purity and integrity of fruit. Her vineyards in Cannubi, one of Barolo's warmest sites, were well positioned (literally) to deal with the cooler vintage. In the higher-altitude, fresher Via Nuova, she took yields down a bit lower than normal to give the fruit the best chance to ripen. The proof is in the glass, and these are two exceptionally beautiful 2005 Barolos.
