Orvieto Classico 'Villa Barbi' Decugnano dei Barbi 2023

The Orvieto Classico "Villa Barbi" by Decugnano dei Barbi is the classic wine of the territory, produced with the historically cultivated white grape varieties in the area: Grechetto, Vermentino, Sauvignon Blanc, and Procanico. A harmonious and multifaceted wine that brings to the forefront the saline and mineral characteristics of the Orvietano terroir. The floral aromas and vegetal nuances soon give way to more mature aromas of white fruit, tropical hints, and soft honeyed nuances. The sip, broad and rich, is juicy and fragrant, supported by pleasant freshness.

The wine "Villa Barbi" is an Orvieto Classico produced on the hills of the Orvietano area by the Decugnano dei Barbi winery, which manages a 32-hectare estate, in a single corporate body characterized by the presence of soils originating from sedimentations of oceanic seabeds from the Pliocene era. The vineyards are cultivated at an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level with southeast and southwest exposure, on sandy soils, with the presence of clays and fossils of shells and oysters. The cool and breezy climate and the presence of thermal fluctuations between day and night enhance the elegance of the aromas of the white grapes. All harvests are manual, and after a brief cooling, the grapes are very gently pressed. The must is sent for fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 13/14 °C for 10/12 days. The wine rests in stainless steel for a few months and finishes aging with 3 months in the bottle.

The white "Villa Barbi" from the Decugnano dei Barbi winery is a perfect Orvieto Classico to know and appreciate the typical characteristics of one of the Italian whites richest in history and tradition. In the glass, it has a bright straw yellow color. The olfactory profile is intense and harmonious, with floral notes, aromas of ripe fruit, tropical fruit, hints of honey, and iodized nuances. On the palate, it seduces with rich, fragrant fruit and the presence of a clear mineral vein. The finish is fresh and balanced.
