2025 Iuli "Umberta" Barbera

The 2025 Iuli "Umberta" Barbera del Monferrato (DOC) is a masterclass in raw, high-toned energy and joyful, unadorned varietal transparency. Fabrizio Iuli crafts this brilliant, entry-level bottling from certified organic estate vines deeply rooted in the heavy limestone and clay marls around Montaldo di Cerrina, located in the rugged, wilder northern stretches of Monferrato. This cooler, isolated setting naturally yields a Barbera focused on electric, linear tension rather than broad, sweet fruit weight.
