De Forville and Barbaresco: a tie with an ancient history
The name of De Forville is closely related to a wine that has become more and more important over the years: Barbaresco. The founder, Gioacchino De Forville, with Walloon origins, in 1860 built up the first bonds between the family and the territory, and he immediately started to believe in the potential of Nebbiolo. Together with other producers, he followed the teachings of Domizio Cavazza, professor at the Royal Oenological School of Alba, defending and promoting the quality of wine.
