Lo Zoccolaio

Lo Zoccolaio is a Piemonte producer focused on Nebbiolo, the noble grape that defines the region's most prestigious wines. The winery's portfolio centers on two expressions of this demanding variety: Barolo, the region's flagship designation, and Ravera, a single-vineyard interpretation that showcases the complexity Nebbiolo achieves in Piemonte's terroir. Both wines have been assessed by major international critics including Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff. The Ravera leads the portfolio in critical reception, while a Barolo Riserva rounds out the core range, offering extended aging potential. Nebbiolo demands patience and precision in the cellar—its high tannins and acidity require careful handling to achieve balance. Lo Zoccolaio's commitment to this single variety reflects the traditional focus of serious Piemonte producers, where mastery of one grape often matters more than breadth across many.
