Tenuta Foresto is located in the province of Asti. More precisely in Nizza Monferrato, which is the centre of the Barbera DOCG ‘Nizza’ and heart of the UNESCO site of Piedmont. The estate counts 8 hectares of land, where around 6 of them are planted with vines. Led by Francesco Pozzobon, originally from Veneto, found his dream farm and now produces genuine wines that represent not only the different varietals and ‘terroirs’ but above all the powerful imprint of nature.
He works primarily with Barbera, Cortese, Moscato, and Chardonnay. All of which are hand picked and farmed organically and following the Fukuoka method. Vines vary from ten to seventy years old, expose is mostly south to south-west, with tufa (a variety of limestone) throughout, with some clay and chalk (limestone again) and ‘terra rossa’ (Italian for ‘red soil) mixed in.
They ferment and age most of their wine in concrete vats and neutral oak barrels. Francesco in the cellar tries to intervene as little as possible, with spontaneous fermentation and indigenous yeasts only, maceration on the skins, no filtration before bottling and without the addition of sulphites at any stage.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
