It's grown on one of the highest parcels the estate works, near Sondrio, and it's the most refined and age-worthy wine they make. It's austere first, generous later, and worth every minute of patience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE GRAPE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Chiavennasca from the Dossi Salati vineyard at 530–570 metres, on stony soils where the day-to-night temperature swing is at its widest.

The palate is austere and elegant, with tannins that build slowly and a long savoury close that makes the next glass inevitable. Long ageing in wood softens Nebbiolo's youthful roughness without taking away its backbone. Decant it well ahead, or forget it in the cellar for a few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFOOD PAIRING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBraised beef cheek, venison, porcini, a proper cheese course.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE WINEMAKER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDavide Fasolini (Aka Faso) and Pierpaolo Di Franco (Aka Birba) played basketball together as kids, studied oenology in Milan, and founded Dirupi in 2004 with a first vintage of 1,600 bottles. They make wine in a 16th-century palazzo in Ponte in Valtellina, from around 7 hectares split into small plots across more than 20 subzones. The vines sit on dry-stone terraces between 400 and 600 metres, some at gradients up to 70%, worked entirely by hand and organically. Everything is done by hand and organically. Every parcel is vinified on its own, with long macerations, then the two of them decide what each one wants to be.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex items-center justify-between\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gap-x-xs flex flex-shrink-0 items-center\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex items-center justify-between\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"gap-x-xs flex flex-shrink-0 items-center\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Dirupi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56822856941943,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0297\/7208\/7349\/files\/Dirupi-dossi-salati.png?v=1790590653","url":"https:\/\/shop.passionevino.co.uk\/products\/dirupi-vigna-dossi-salati-valtellina-superiore-docg","provider":"Passione Vino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
