2023 Decugnano dei Barbi Frammento
Tasting Notes
Light straw with greenish glints. The bouquet is fresh and floral, with white peach, green apple, and citrus blossom. The palate is lively and pure, showing crisp stone fruit, bright acidity, and a hint of wet stone. A refreshing, mouthwatering finish lingers with a mineral lift.
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.
