Description
Fruity wine, slightly spicy, soft tannins and light vanilla due to the wood maturation. Originating from various vineyards in Orvieto, Umbria.The soil consists of marl and loam and is rich in fossil shells.The vineyards are located at 320 meters above sea level. The fermentation takes place largely at a controlled temperature of 14 to 16 degrees in stainless steel tanks for 15 to 20 days.About 10% of the wine is fermented in oak barrels.
The wine matures for another 6 months in stainless steel and then another 6 months in the bottle before it is released onto the market. In 1973 Claudio Barbi founded his own winery in Orvieto.Claudio had been looking for a winery for some time where he could specialize in quality wines, when he came across the abandoned country house 'Decugnano' in Orvieto.The landscape caught his attention because of the beautiful terroir and he decided to buy the estate and rename it Decugnano dei Barbi.The estate used to be owned by the church: wine had been sold there since 1212.
