Lo Zoccolaio winery, which takes its name from a village located in the Bricco of Barolo, has 30 hectares of vineyards of which 14 are planted with the Nebbiolo grape from Barolo. The vineyards face southwest, on the coast of the Bricco of Barolo. The wines produced from this farm are real jewels, wine masterpieces to make every special moment unforgettable.
In the Langa region they really love to discuss the concepts of innovation and tradition. This debate too is so, “traditional”: it fits the peasant custom to uphold, even animatedly, one’s own opinion around the dinner table, at the tavern or in the market place. The debate, finally summarizes and synthesizes the old conflict between different generations, between innovators and conservatives, between fathers and sons. At Lo Zoccolaio, a typical farmstead named after an ancient maker of wooden shoes who lived there, this debate is voluntarily highlighted and brought to the surface. In the cellar you start from the “modernism” of the barrique and go back to the use of larger wooden barrels, while the architectonic choices of the recent restructuring go over the colors and materials of the territory with a decisively present day, modern line, harmonized by its contrast with the surrounding vineyards.
Lo Zoccolaio's understood virtue is in the middle, the perfect balance between respect for tradition and its enrichment with innovation and freshness.
