Lo Zoccolaio Barolo DOCG

Lo Zoccolaio Barolo DOCG is a 100% Nebbiolo Northern Italian red wine from Piedmont that combines the textbook structural power and ethereal elegance of the region with a beautifully polished, subtly modern approach: on the nose it shows dried red cherry, wild raspberry, and sour cranberry layered with crushed red roses, pipe tobacco, leather, and a complex hint of tar and sweet baking spice; the palate is firm yet linear, with flavours of red plum, pomegranate, and orange zest supported by notes of savoury anise, black tea, and a distinct iron-like minerality, sometimes edging into riper hints of black raspberry pastilles, while tightly wound, chalky tannins and a high, persistent acidity keep it incredibly vibrant and focused; the finish is long, dry, and aristocratic, lingering on red-berry coulis, toasted oak, and a clean, smoky earthiness.
