Lo Zoccolaio Barolo DOCG
Description
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, this characteristic Barolo shows a captivating bouquet of dried red cherry, wild raspberry, and sour cranberry, seamlessly layered with crushed red roses, pipe tobacco, leather, and a complex hint of tar and sweet baking spice. The palate is firm, linear, and beautifully balanced, offering flavours of red plum, pomegranate, and orange zest supported by savoury anise, black tea, distinct iron-like minerality, and riper hints of black raspberry pastilles, while tightly wound, chalky tannins and a high, persistent acidity keep its profile energetic and focused. The finish is long, dry, and aristocratic, lingering on notes of red-berry coulis, toasted oak, and a clean, smoky earthiness, making it a perfect pairing for slow-braised beef cheeks, roasted game, truffle risotto, or aged hard cheeses like Parmigiano-Reggiano.
