De Forville Nebbiolo d'Alba 2020

LOOP LINE TASTING NOTES | Obtained from vineyards cultivated in a wide area at the border with the Barolo and Barbaresco districts, this wine is immediately ready to drink, but it is also suitable for ageing. After five years in the bottle it still preserves its best features. Good structure, with a tannic and spicy finish. Perfect with meat, game and ripe cheeses. Open the bottle at least one hour before serving, in order to obtain more intensive perfume and taste.

The DeForville family emigrated to Piedmont from Belgium in 1848 and established themselves in the village of Barbaresco in 1860. Here, the family was instantly engaged in growing the Nebbiolo grape under the direction of Gioachino De Forville. He was succeeded by his son, Vincenzo, followed by Vincenzo’s nephew, Paolo and, then, the fourth generation is represented by Paolo’s daughter, Mafalda and her husband, Bruno Anfosso. Now, the fifth generation is in place: Valter and Paolo Anfosso, the two sons of Bruno and Mafalda.

In the early part of the twentieth century, the DeForvilles sold their wine in bulk directly to restaurants and to retailers who then bottled the wine. In 1940 the estate bottled its first wine and now virtually their entire production is bottled at the estate.
