The 2024 De Forville Barbera d’Alba is a fresh, food-friendly expression of Piedmont Barbera, offering vibrant aromas of blackberry, currant, and red fruit with subtle hints of spice. Sourced from vineyards around Barbaresco, Neive, and Alba, including the Ga’Grosso cru, it is fermented in stainless steel and aged for about a year in a mix of oak barrels and large casks, giving it a balance of bright fruit and gentle structure. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity, low tannins, and a juicy, rounded texture, making it especially versatile at the table. This approachable, everyday red pairs beautifully with tomato-based dishes, pizza, roasted meats, and aged cheeses, delivering classic Barbera character at an excellent value.
