{"product_id":"deforville-barbera-dalba","title":"DeForville Barbera d'Alba","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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 Gioacchino 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. 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. This vibrant, full-bodied red is a blend of grapes harvested in parcels spread amongst the three communes of Barbaresco, Neive and Alba.  Included as the primary source are grapes harvested in the cru “Ga’Grosso” in Barbaresco.  The grapes are crushed and are then fermented in stainless steel for almost two weeks after which the wine is racked into oak barrels and “botti” for one year prior to bottling.  The average age of the vines is 30 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DeForville","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48046542291158,"sku":null,"price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/4341\/2950\/files\/barbera-d-alba_label-84530.jpg?v=1775606762","url":"https:\/\/winklerandsamuels.com\/products\/deforville-barbera-dalba","provider":"winklerandsamuels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
