Most people know Nebbiolo as a serious red. This is the same grape from the Alps, made as a traditional-method sparkling rosé with zero dosage, so no sugar is added to soften it at bottling. It comes from Dirupi, the Valtellina estate run by Davide Fasolini and Pierpaolo di Franco. After earning enology degrees at the University of Milan, the two took on 18 ancient vineyard sites. The name means "cliff," and it fits: their terraces climb to 650 metres, held up by hand-built stone walls about 1,000 years old. A bone-dry mountain Nebbiolo with bubbles isn't something you see every day. If you already like Dirupi's reds, this 2020 shows you another side of the house, and it's a fine bottle to pull out when the Champagne crowd thinks they've tried it all.

More about Dirupi

Dirupi is the story of two kids from Sondrio who swam against the tide. Davide Fasolini and Pierpaolo Di Franco came back to the Valtellina to make wine. The two grew up playing basketball together and later both studied winemaking at the University of Milan. They started the winery in 2004 with no family vineyards and very little money, renting a handful of small, steeply terraced plots high in the Alps.

The Valtellina is Lombardy's great mountain valley, just south of the Swiss border, where Nebbiolo (called Chiavennasca locally) grows on south-facing stone terraces so steep that everything is done by hand. Dirupi's parcels sit at roughly 400 to 650 meters, some with very old vines, and the partners learned much of their craft from the elderly growers who used to farm them. They farm organically, with several wines now certified, and the cellar is in a historic palazzo in Ponte in Valtellina.

The range climbs from the bright, juicy Rosso di Valtellina "Olé!" to a Valtellina Superiore blended from many plots, and on to single-vineyard bottlings from the Grumello and Inferno subzones. There is also a Sforzato made from partly dried grapes and a Nebbiolo sparkling rosé. Across the board, this is Alpine Nebbiolo: fresh, perfumed and lighter on its feet than Barolo, with real mountain energy.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Bresaola with arugula and shaved Parmigiano; pizzoccheri (Valtellina's buckwheat pasta with cabbage, potato and Casera cheese); fried zucchini flowers; salmon crudo; prosciutto and melon.

Tasting Profile

A dry sparkling rosé with no added sugar, so it tastes lean and crisp, not soft or sweet. It's made by the traditional method, with fizz that should feel fine, and the Nebbiolo gives it a firmer backbone than most pink bubbles. Clean, dry finish.
