Lo Zoccolaio: wines of Piemonte between Barolo and the tradition of the Langhe

The collection Lo Zoccolaio brings together some of the most interesting expressions of Piemonte, focusing on Barolo and characterful reds that tell the heart of the Langhe. It is a selection designed for those seeking authentic wines, capable of uniting elegance, structure, and territorial identity, as in the case of Barolo 2016 DOCG, Barolo DOCG Ravera 2014, and Barbera d’Alba DOC Superiore “Suculé”.

The stylistic profile of the winery

Lo Zoccolaio interprets the territory with a style that enhances aromatic depth, tannic texture, and the evolutionary capacity of the great reds of Piemonte. Barolo, in its various expressions, represents the pinnacle of the range and offers an authoritative reading of the Barolo hills, while Barbera d’Alba adds immediacy, freshness, and versatility at the table. The presence of Re Noir Pinot Nero Piemonte DOC completes the selection with an international grape variety well adapted to the Piemonte context.

Why choose these wines

The wines of Lo Zoccolaio are ideal for those who wish to bring into their cellar labels linked to a prestigious denomination and an iconic territory. Barolo is a natural choice for those who love complex, deep reds suitable for slow tasting moments; Barbera d’Alba Superiore, on the other hand, is suited for a more dynamic table, without sacrificing personality. Re Noir Pinot Nero Piemonte DOC is an interesting proposal for those seeking finesse and drinkability, with a leaner and more gastronomic profile.

Recommended pairings

This selection pairs easily with rich and flavorful dishes of Piemonte and Italian cuisine. Barolo pairs well with braised dishes, roasts, game, and aged cheeses. Barbera d’Alba Superiore expresses itself best with tajarin with ragù, red meats, and baked preparations. Pinot Nero Piemonte DOC is suitable for more delicate dishes, such as mushrooms, flavorful white meats, and structured first courses.

A selection for enthusiasts and the curious

Purchasing from the collection Lo Zoccolaio means exploring a coherent path among great denominations, significant vintages, and different styles, all united by a strong Piemonte imprint. If you are looking for wines of territory, elegance, and personality, this selection offers a solid and authoritative starting point to discover the best of Lo Zoccolaio.
