Decugnano dei Barbi
From this winery
  • Start up year: 1973
  • Oenologist: Riccardo Cotarella
  • Bottles produced: 10.000
  • Hectares: 32
Decugnano dei Barbi is a winery that can boast enviable records. That of having, in 1978, created the first Classical Method of Umbria and that of having conceived, in 1981, the first muffato in Italy. All this is due to the will of Claudio Barbi, who in the early '70s of the last century established, in this corner of paradise in the Orvieto countryside, the home of his creature. Those who go to Fossatello di Orvieto today will therefore be able to enjoy a piece of history; a history that is now entrusted to Enzo Barbi, elegant and courteous manners, great culture, consistency with the family project. Year after year, the mastery of Claudio and Enzo allows us to try wines of the highest quality, original, rich in personality. Read more
