• Can you stay at Decugnano dei Barbi? add remove
  Yes. Villa Barbi, on the estate, is let only as a whole, for up to ten guests and at least four nights. It has four suites and a double room, each with its own bathroom. Outside are a private pool and a garden, and daily cleaning is included. A cook, yoga, personal training and massage can be added, and you book by contacting the estate.
• Is Decugnano dei Barbi organic? add remove
  No, and the estate says so plainly. It is certified under SQNPI, Italy's national scheme for integrated farming, which is checked by an independent body. In practice it treats the vines only when the weather and the plants call for it, with the mildest products it can use. It fights the grape moth with pheromones instead of insecticide.
