1. Decugnano dei Barbi
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 278 reviews
For over eight centuries "Decugnano" has been used to indicate the name of the land of the estate. The soil rich in fossils, oysters and shells, the micro climate and a wide temperature range are all factors particularly suitable for wine growing. Beside a very modern cellar, the visitor has the possibility to admire the Etruscan caves, today utilized for the production of the sparkling wine "spumante" and to mature certain wines in barrels. Within spectacular scenery, the Estate organizes guided tours to their cellars followed by wine tasting and local delicacies. WE ARE OPEN! Saturday & Sunday

Two couples (from well-regarded wine areas in California and Oregon) treated ourselves to the best winery tour and tasting/pairing we’ve experienced. Maurizio was our superb host and guide on a crisp, clear morning visit in late December. We arrived a few minutes late because our GPS tried to steer us the long/wrong way from Todi through Orvieto. If you’re heading there from the south, make sure your GPS is not confused. Maurizio knows his wines, and he proudly shares his devotion to Umbria. We’ve never encountered a place with an 800-year association to wine-making. It’s a perfect way to learn about crafting fine Umbrian wines, blended with history, culture, and spectacular scenery.

We had a wonderful time at Madonna del Latte. One of the top wine tastings we have ever experienced. It's hard to say what was more powerful, the excellent wines, the beautiful setting, or the exceptional hospitality from Leon and Ruta.

Known since the times of Dante, what is more interesting is society going to hell than in heaven. The same idea is visited in the chapel of San Brizio. The only scene of hell Sermon and deeds of Antichrist. The frescoes on the ceiling belong to the brush of fra Angelico. The good society of the apostles, angels, bishops and martyrs written by the Italian painter carefully. All that You have seen many times before. There`s the true pearl of chapel and Cathedral in general, it is the frescoes by Luca Signorelli. The seven frescoes by Signorelli in the chapel there. These are Sermon, the Destruction of the world, the Resurrection of the flesh, the Damned, the Elected, Heaven, Hell. Their importance to the world of art is that they inspired Michelangelo in the Grand work in the Sistine chapel. But Signorelli was the first who was able to portray the human body. Signorelli has always paid great attention to anatomy. It was said that his school was at the funeral. The artist was able to convey the dynamics of the naked body as well and is even better than antique. The Renaissance is manifested in this. There is a perception that Signorelli depicted the Friar in the image of the Antichrist on the mural of the Sermon. Despite all his talent, Signorelli revenged Savonarola. Savonarola was a Dominican monk, established in Florence, theocratic Republic and expelled Lorenzo de ' Medici, and along with him his favorites, including Signorelli. Signorelli has painted himself on the frescoes. Even a few times. The artist from Cortona has depicted himself in the lower right corner in the image of the monk (Sermon). The second monk is fra Angelico. Signorelli painted himself one more time in the neighbouring fresco of the "Damned". But now he made himself in the form of a horned demon, grasping a young woman who tries to escape from his embrace. This same woman depicted in the mural at the top, where the demon flies with her to the hell. The third time the master has depicted the same woman in the fresco of the Sermon, where she sells herself to the old merchant. Maybe it's the story of a woman who was unfaithful Signorelli. It reminded me again, as in the Raphael`s Stanzas gorgeous scene from the film of Giuseppe Tornatore "Baaria".Visiting artist decorated the ceiling of the local Church religious scene, taking as the sitters for the saints of the local "characters", so to conduct the services was impossible: instead of having to listen to the sermon, the congregation whispered, showing each other up at the ceiling:"He portrayed the drunk in the form of St. Peter! Where have you seen? And that angel is my brother, he recently had surgery in Palermo. — And how? — Well, thank you...". We look at these scenes from a distance. While Signorelli painted an imaginary hell, but real, of his life. In fact, as we are.

Great spot. Beautiful setting. The tasting was fabulous and included charcuterie. The tour was very interesting with a visit to the cellar. We were able to purchase wine and olive oil and have it shipped home to the US in a timely fashion and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend for a wine tasting close to Rome!

With a few places left to visit on my "City Card" I decided to climb the many stairs to the top of Torre del Moro even though it was a warm summer afternoon. I was rewarded with incredible 360 degree views of the countryside and all of the major sights in the city of Orvieto. It's well worth the effort to climb the stairs to gain a perspective on this beautiful region.

We had already done the Underground Orvieta tour but found this one very interesting as well. Visitors here are allowed to wander at their own pace; there are clear detailed descriptions all along the way. The well has obviously been well studied with seemingly accurate explanations of the workings of the Etruscan inhabitants. The depth of the excavation is surprising. One hour is probably adequate but there is also a well-stocked book and gift shop to explore.
