2022 Decugnano dei Barbi Battito
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby with violet reflections. Aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, and dried herbs blend with graphite and spice. The palate is rich and balanced, offering dark fruit, fine tannins, and savory notes of cedar and cocoa. A long, structured finish shows both energy and elegance.
About Decugnano dei Barbi
Decugnano dei Barbi is a boutique winery located just outside Orvieto in Umbria, with a winemaking history that dates back to 1212. Revived in 1973 by Claudio Barbi, the estate quickly became a pioneer in the region, even producing Umbria’s first traditional-method sparkling wine. The vineyards sit atop ancient seabed soils rich in marine fossils, lending a distinctive minerality and salinity to the wines. Now run by Claudio’s son Enzo, the estate continues its legacy with a focus on sustainable viticulture and a thoughtful blend of innovation and tradition, crafting expressive wines that reflect the beauty and complexity of their unique terroir.
