Tenuta Foresto

Francesco and Pauline from Tenuta Foresto are young natural wine producers in Nizza Monferrato in the heart of the Asti hills, a UNESCO heritage site. They finally fulfilled their dream of opening a farm and producing wine in winter 2016/17 by taking over a semi-abandoned farmhouse where the vineyards had not undergone intensive agriculture for years. The vineyards are maintained completely by hand, without adding any additives. In compliance with organic and biodynamic agricultural practices, they only use copper and sulfur foliar sprays when needed to prevent vine diseases and molds. The cellar was born from the ashes of what was once the stable. Completely restored now, the semi-underground and insulated cellar follows the seasonal temperatures naturally without stressing the wine and preventing its natural evolution.
