Description

The Barbaresco is the pride and joy of the De Forville estate.

The family has a deep passion for the region and strive to deliver the most honest expression of Nebbiolo from their home that they can. Taken from the vineyards of Loreto, Ovello and Cavanna, names those familiar with the region will recognise as exemplary.

The winemaking is a blend of traditional methodology with modern equipment and process making for a crystal-clear, fine, stuctured and beautifully aromatic example of Barbaresco.

"I reckon this is something of a bargain and really very good."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

93 points - "Dark cherry, earthy and deep, black tea and dark spices, a little liquorice and violet too. It’s dark and brooding, firm and ferrous tannin, plenty of ripe dark fruit, and while it’s tea-like and savoury, it has succulence to go with it. Quite rusty with tobacco on the finish, but gee it has personality and lots of rugged impact. You need to love tannin (and of course I do) and with that caveat, I reckon this is something of a bargain and really very good." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

    Savoury Nebbiolo

    The 2019 De Forville is a Barbaresco with complexity and plenty of grunt. If that’s your style it’s excellent bang for your buck.
