Dirupi is the project of Davide Fasolini and Pierpaolo Di Franco, who, since 2004 have worked tirelessly, farming their high-altitude vineyards in the sub-alpine region of Valtellina, which is known for lighter-bodied expressions of Nebbiolo, known locally as Chiavannesca. Perfect ripening at these extreme altitudes requires careful planting, pruning, and growing.
