Baccanara is a blend of 50% Barbera, 30% Merlot, 18% Nebbiolo, 2% Cabernet Sauvignon, all sourced from Lo Zoccolaio's vineyards in the Barolo and Monforte d'Alba areas. The special bottle is reminicent of the bottles of the past and is used to enhance the quality and organoleptic characteristics of the wine. Lo Zoccolaio is a small but immaculately maintained cascina (small farmhouse) set into the hill of Bricco del Barolo in the comune of the same name. With 23 total estate hectares, of which only 11.3 are planted to Nebbiolo, Lo Zoccolaio is committed to maintaining a small production of superb Langhe wines. The Lo Zoccolaio tree is a great white poplar that sprouts two trees from the same roots. It is known as the tree of life, or as a phyiscal representation of good and evil. Lo Zoccolaio produces only red wines, made from with grapes from their own vineyards located in Barolo, Monforte, Novello and Verduno.
Tasting Notes
Intense ruby red color, wild fruit and red plum perfumes with hay undertones and spicy notes. It is fresh, and full-bodied on the palate, with pleasant tannins and a good texture and a long finish.
Food Pairing
Pairs with heavy first courses, red meats, game, and semi-seasoned cheeses.
Rated 90 by James Suckling
Ripe blackcurrants and blackberries on the nose with a hint of ink. Full, intense flavors and tight, fine tannins, coated in fruity vanilla. Persistent finish. It’s a bit too intense now. Give it a year to settle down. Try in 2022.
