Style: Dry, medium-bodied orange wine; more immediate and accessible than its bigger sibling Dinavolo, owing to its origin on the lower, deeper-soiled section of the same hillside — the additional soil depth there gives the vines better water access, producing larger berries and a fresher, more citrus-driven, lighter-textured wine
Grapes & terroir: 25% each of Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Ortrugo, Marsanne, and an unidentified ancient indigenous variety; hand-harvested old vines planted in 1975 on clay-limestone soils at 1,150–1,640 ft elevation; lower slope of the Débé plot, Val Trebbia, Colli Piacentini, Province of Piacenza; farmed organically with copper and sulfur only; no synthetic treatments
Winemaking: Hand-harvested with rigorous vineyard sorting; destemmed; spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel for approximately 15 days without temperature control; several months of skin maceration; further aging in stainless steel; no fining, no filtration, no added sulfites
Serving temperature & decanting: Serve at 55–58°F; short decanting of 15–20 minutes is useful but not essential — the wine opens well in the glass
Pairing: Tagliatelle al ragù bolognese (traditional Emilian egg pasta with meat sauce)
Similar to: Radikon Slatnik from Friuli, Cantina Giardino Coda di Volpe Paski, lighter vintages of Dinavolo by the same producer

Az. Agr. Denavolo Dinavolino Orange 2022 is a dry orange wine crafted by Giulio Armani from 25% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, 25% Ortrugo, 25% Marsanne, and 25% an unidentified ancient local variety, grown on the lower slope of the Débé plot in Val Trebbia, Colli Piacentini, Province of Piacenza, Emilia-Romagna. Planted in 1975 on clay-limestone soils at 350 to 500 feet elevation, these vines are the source for Az. Agr. Denavolo's more approachable orange wine: hand-harvested, destemmed, spontaneously fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts through several months of skin maceration, then bottled unfined, unfiltered, and without any added sulfites. 12% ABV.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Producer profile

Azienda Agricola Denavolo

Az. Agr. Denavolo is the personal project of Giulio Armani, founded in 2005 on the slopes of Monte Denavolo in the commune of Travo, Val Trebbia, Province of Piacenza. Giulio has been the winemaker at La Stoppa — the well-known natural wine estate in the Piacenza hills — since he started making wine there as a young man in 1980, working first with founder Rafael Pantaleoni and later with his daughter Elena Pantaleoni. Denavolo was never a career change but an extension: a place to pursue questions that La Stoppa, focused primarily on long-aged red wines, did not fully answer.

The central question is the one that defines every wine Giulio makes under the Denavolo name: why are white wines assumed to require different treatment than red wines? The conventional answer — that white grapes lack the structure and phenolics for extended skin contact — holds no interest for him. At Denavolo, all wines are made from white grapes processed exactly as reds would be: destemmed, macerated on their skins for months, fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts, and aged in stainless steel without any additions. The result is a range of orange wines in which tannin, acidity, and aromatic complexity interact in ways that still wines cannot achieve.

The estate covers approximately 5 hectares in total, with the Débé plot — planted in 1975 to Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, Ortrugo, Marsanne, and an unidentified local variety — at the heart of both the Dinavolo and Dinavolino wines. Dinavolino takes its name as a diminutive of Dinavolo, reflecting its position on the lower, more accessible section of the hillside and its marginally more approachable style. Both wines are natural wine classification table wines (Vino Bianco) — Giulio deliberately avoids DOC or IGT designation to preserve full freedom in winemaking.

Wine region

Emilia–Romagna, Italy

The Val Trebbia cuts through the Province of Piacenza in western Emilia-Romagna, where the Trebbia River runs from the Ligurian Apennines northward to meet the Po plain. The valley's geology is predominantly calcareous — limestone ridges, calcareous clay hillsides, and thin rocky soils on the steeper upper slopes — a foundation that has shaped the character of the wines produced here for at least two thousand years. Pliny the Elder wrote of the wines of Piacenza in the first century AD, and the Colli Piacentini DOC that formalizes the region's wine identity today reflects a tradition far older than its official designation.

The Débé plot where Giulio Armani farms his Dinavolino and Dinavolo vines occupies a single hillside in the commune of Travo, at the foot of Monte Denavolo. The hillside runs from around 1,150 feet at its base to over 1,640 feet at its summit, with the soil depth and composition shifting meaningfully between the two sections: deeper clay-limestone soil on the lower slope where Dinavolino's grapes grow, transitioning to thin rocky ground barely covering limestone bedrock at the top where the Dinavolo vines draw nutrients almost directly from rock. This difference within a single parcel produces two distinct wines from identical grape varieties, illustrating how precisely soil depth influences wine character in this corner of Emilia-Romagna.

The climate of the upper Val Trebbia is genuinely continental, with hot dry summers, cold winters, and strong mountain winds that reduce disease pressure naturally and help Giulio farm without synthetic treatments. The significant temperature differential between warm days and cool nights during the growing season — amplified by elevation — preserves natural acidity in the grapes and allows harvest at moderate alcohol levels, which is critical for a wine that requires months of skin contact without any sulfur protection.
