Tasting Note:
The 2022 Dinavolino is a benchmark Italian orange wine—aromatic, textural, and wildly expressive. Layers of apricot, dried citrus, and quince are accented by chamomile, herbs, and subtle nutty notes. The palate is structured with firm tannins, lively acidity, and a savory, saline edge, finishing long and complex. Both rustic and refined, it’s a natural wine that captures the rugged energy of the Colli Piacentini hillsides.

About the Producer:
Giulio Armani, longtime winemaker at La Stoppa, founded Denavolo to explore high-altitude, skin-contact whites. Farming organically and fermenting without manipulation, he crafts wines that are vivid, raw, and deeply rooted in terroir. Dinavolino is his signature bottling—an iconic orange wine that has become a cult favorite among natural wine lovers.
