Decugnano dei Barbi is a historic estate overlooking Orvieto in Umbria, where the Barbi family has been producing wine since the 1970s. Its vineyards occupy ancient seabeds rich in marine fossils, giving the wines a distinctive mineral character. The estate has helped demonstrate just how much sophistication and ageing potential Orvieto's traditional white grapes can offer.
Mare Antico, meaning “ancient sea,” takes its name from these fossil-rich soils. The 2022 Orvieto Classico combines indigenous grape varieties to create a white with greater depth and texture than the region's everyday offerings. Careful winemaking preserves the freshness and individual character of the fruit.
Ripe pear, yellow apple and citrus zest meet white flowers, almond and a subtle herbal note. The palate is rounded yet refreshing, with gentle richness, lively acidity and a lingering mineral finish. Excellent with grilled seafood, roast chicken, fresh pasta or Pecorino. A characterful Umbrian white that offers plenty to discover beyond the usual Italian classics.
