{"product_id":"barbaresco-paolo-de-forville-1973","title":"Barbaresco De Forville 1973","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a 1973 Barbaresco from Paolo De Forville, a historic estate founded in 1860. Classified as a Denominazione d'Origine Controllata (DOC), this red wine was bottled directly in its zone of origin. The producer's legacy is highlighted by numerous historical accolades, including gold medals and grand prizes from exhibitions in Rome, Pisa, Novara, and Fiume during the early 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Piedmont in northwestern Italy, a prestigious region surrounded by the Alps. Specifically, it comes from Barbaresco, a classic area located in the steep hills of the Langhe, just east of Alba. The landscape here is characterized by dramatic slopes that are often enveloped in thick autumn morning fog, which protects the grapes and ensures a long, perfect ripening period. Piedmont is renowned for its small, passionate, family-run wineries and a profound focus on how the terroir and microclimate influence the wine. The 1973 vintage in this region is generally described as light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Barbaresco is made entirely from Nebbiolo, the premier grape of the region. Nebbiolo is deeply rooted in Piedmont and is the sole varietal permitted for the prestigious wines of both Barbaresco and Barolo. It is widely celebrated for producing elegant wines with significant structural depth. While Barolo is often considered the more robust sibling, wines from Barbaresco are traditionally known to be a more elegant counterpart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"De Forville","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57397525315910,"sku":null,"price":255.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1230_041c3b7f-66eb-4659-be02-054b12550685.jpg?v=1789637026","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/barbaresco-paolo-de-forville-1973","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
