ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Tenuta Foresto is located in the province of Asti, in Nizza Monferrato, which is the centre of the ‘Nizza’ DOCG in the heart of Piemonte. The estate is led by Francesco Pozzobon, who is originally from Veneto. It covers eight hectares, with around six planted with vines.

Francesco works primarily with Barbera, Cortese, Moscato, and Chardonnay. All of his vines farmed organically and following the Fukuoka method. Nizza Monferrato produces genuine wines that represent not only the different varietals and ‘terroirs’ but above all the powerful imprint of nature.
