Tenuta Decugnano dei Barbi

Tenuta Decugnano dei Barbi is a historic winery located in Orvieto, Umbria, with a rich history dating back to 1212 when it was first established as a church-owned vineyard. The property remained abandoned until Claudio Barbi discovered it in 1973 and began restoring the vineyards and building the winery. Under Claudio's vision, Decugnano dei Barbi became known for producing high-quality wines that respect its unique terroir. The winery is particularly famous for its Metodo Classico, which was a pioneering achievement in Umbria at the time. Today, Enzo Barbi, Claudio's son, continues his father's legacy with a focus on sustainable farming practices and preserving the balance between agriculture and environment. Visitors can experience a unique wine tour and tasting, led by knowledgeable staff who will guide them through the vineyards and winery. The estate is characterized by its distinctive terroir, which combines mineral and marine elements to create an extraordinary wine. With over 800 years of history, Decugnano dei Barbi has become synonymous with winemaking excellence in Umbria.
