A special cuvée that originates from vines located in the commune of San Rocco d’Elvio. San Rocco is perched on a hilltop inbetween the Barbaresco and Barolo zones. Effectively this wine can almost be considered to be the “Barolo” of the De Forville estate as its structure more closely resembles that of Barolo than it does Barbaresco. The tannins are more firm, the fruit darker, the wine more serious. Handled in a fashion similar to the vinification of the Barbarescos made at the estate, the wine undergoes a longer fermentation and elevage than does the Langhe Nebbiolo and is released later.
