Tasting notes

This is a ruby-colored red blend of Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Barbera, and Bonarda. Giulio Armani's Dinavolo Rosso emphasizes freshness, lightness, vitality, juicy red fruit, and Mediterranean herbs, along with a few structuring tannins. On the palate it has a soft, fruity attack that dries out through its freshness and light tannin.

Az. Agr. Denavolo Dinavolo Rosso is a natural red wine made by Giulio Armani, who founded Denavolo in 2005 on the slopes of Monte Denavolo in the commune of Travo, Val Trebbia, Province of Piacenza, Emilia-Romagna. Giulio has also been the winemaker at La Stoppa since 1980. The wine is a blend of Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Barbera, and Bonarda, reported as roughly 70% Pinot Grigio, 10% Pinot Noir, 10% Barbera, and 10% Bonarda. It is hand-harvested, spontaneously fermented with wild yeasts, and aged in stainless steel tanks.

This light, herbal red suits Emilian cuisine such as tagliatelle al ragù and charcuterie. Its freshness and light tannins pair with roast chicken with herbs and soft-rind cheese. Regional convention supports light reds with pizza, cured meats, and simple tomato-based pasta dishes.

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.


Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Azienda Agricola Denavolo

Azienda Agricola 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 natural wine estate in the Piacenza hills, since he started making wine there in 1980, working first with founder Rafael Pantaleoni and later with his daughter Elena Pantaleoni. The winery takes its name from the mountain beneath which it sits.

Denavolo's vineyards sit on mostly calcareous soils, farmed with organic care. The plots are located between 350 and 600 meters above sea level, with the oldest vines planted in 1975. Plant protection uses only sulfur, copper, and plant- or animal-based preparations, and the estate is not certified.

Giulio processes white grapes as reds would be processed, using extended skin contact during wild fermentation. He experiments with different fermentation vessels, including stainless steel tanks, amphora, and old oak. His wines are made with spontaneous fermentation, no filtration, and no added sulfur.

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, with limestone ridges, calcareous clay hillsides, and thin rocky soils on the steeper upper slopes. Emilia-Romagna spans from the plains of the Po River to the terrains of the Apennine Mountains, with a climate moderated by the Adriatic Sea.

Pliny the Elder wrote of the wines of Piacenza in the first century AD, and the Colli Piacentini DOC formalizes the region's wine identity today. Emilia-Romagna's native grape varieties include Sangiovese, Lambrusco, and Albana, and Lambrusco is often the region's most recognized wine.
