Pinot Noir
Lo Zoccolaio Pinot Nero Re Noir 2016
Cellar for up to 7 years. No need to decant before serving.
Cascina Lo Zoccolaio in the Langhe is best known for its hearty, powerful Barolo wines, but the boutique winery also produces vibrant modern wines like this Pinot Nero. Grapes are sourced from estate vineyards in Novello and Barolo with harvesting done by hand to ensure quality. Wherever possible they seek to work in harmony with nature, rejecting the use of herbicides and planting herbs between the rows of vines to boost biodiversity.
The grapes are treated with a light touch in the winery to preserve the natural varietal character, with fermentation on the skins in temperature-controlled tanks. The young wine then matures in French oak barrels for 18 months followed by 6 months of ageing in the bottle.
This creates a light, beautifully-perfumed Pinot Nero which is bursting with hints of red cherry, plum, redcurrant and delicate toasted oak and spices from the barrel maturation. On the palate there’s a bright streak of acidity balancing the ripe fruit flavours and a pure, clean finish which makes it a great partner for food. Try pairing this exuberant Pinot with duck, roast lamb, charcuterie or more hearty dishes like pappardelle served with a rich tomato-based ragu sauce.
