WINE DESCRIPTION
The "Lo Zoccolaio Riserva Barolo" is a prestigious red wine from the renowned Barolo region in Piedmont, Italy. Produced by Lo Zoccolaio, this wine is a quintessential example of Barolo, often referred to as the "King of Wines" in Italy. Made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, the wine benefits from the unique terroir of the region, characterized by its favorable climate and calcareous clay soils, which contribute to the grape’s intense flavors and robust tannins. The Riserva designation indicates that the wine has been aged for a longer period, typically in oak barrels, which allows it to develop a greater depth of flavor and complexity. This aging process results in a Barolo that is rich and full-bodied, with a balance of power and elegance that is the hallmark of the region’s finest wines.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Lo Zoccolaio Riserva Barolo presents a deep garnet color, typical of mature Nebbiolo.The nose is a complex array of aromas, featuring ripe red fruits like cherries and plums, interwoven with notes of rose petals, leather, and a hint of truffle. On the palate, the wine exhibits a robust structure, with well-integrated tannins and a high acidity that is characteristic of Barolo. The flavors of red fruits are complemented by nuances of licorice, tobacco, and a subtle earthiness. The finish is long and persistent, with a lingering elegance and a depth of flavors that continue to evolve.
