Tenuta Decugnano dei Barbi

Wine has been produced in Decugnano since 1212 The Barbi family continues the tradition. The origin of the name Decugnano is obscure and is lost over the centuries, but already in 1212 these lands produced wine for the clergy of Orvieto. They were the lands of the church of Santa Maria di Decugnano. In 1973 Claudio Barbi found Decugnano abandoned and immediately fell in love with it. The first wines came out in 1978 and the success was immediate. Did you know that? Decugnano dei Barbi produced the first Umbrian classic method (vintage 1978) and the first Italian noble rot (vintage 1981). The tremendous upheavals of geological eras, time and the hand of man have created a unique terroir in Decugnano dei Barbi. The soils are ocean beds from the Pliocene era. The vineyards have their roots in the sandy and clayey earth, among fossil shells and oysters, giving that mineral and marine character characteristic of our wines. The altitude of over 300 meters favors the right ventilation and an ideal temperature range to enhance the perfumes. While the optimal exposure of the vineyards to the sun guarantees perfect ripening of the grapes.
