Dirupi, Valtellina Superiore DOCG, Lombardy, Italy

Valtellina is on the southern edge of the alps, in Lombardy. A land of tradition, steep vineyards, mountain air, and beautiful, ever-so drinkable reds.

Dirupi was founded in 2004 by Pierpaolo Di Franco and Davide Fasolini, two childhood friends that crossed paths once again when they both were completing enology degrees in university. Neither had inherited land to work after graduation so the two combined what little resources they had upon completion of their degrees and rented 15 different terraced sites in Valtellina devoted to Chiavennasca.
