Description:

Bright ruby ​​red in color with garnet highlights, the nose presents an elegant and complex bouquet of red berries, violets, wild roses, and spices, with mineral notes typical of the Valtellina terroir. On the palate, it is harmonious and well-structured, with fine, silky tannins, typical of Nebbiolo from the terraced vineyards of the Grumello subzone. The finish is long and persistent, with a return of fruity and spicy notes. The distinctive minerality of the area's granite soils gives the wine a distinctive savory and fresh character.

The Grumello vineyards, located on steep terraces supported by dry stone walls, enjoy ideal southern exposure and benefit from shallow, glacial soils. The Dirupi winery, founded by young winemakers from Valtellina, has established itself as one of the most exciting wineries in the area, respecting tradition while bringing a contemporary perspective to Nebbiolo winemaking.
