Orange Wine Trio

This trio is anchored by the Azienda Agricola Denavolo Dinavolino 2018, one of the most widely recognized orange wines from Emilia-Romagna. Giulio Armani — winemaker at La Stoppa since 1980 and founder of Denavolo in 2005 — grows the fruit for Dinavolino on the lower section of the Débé plot in the commune of Travo, Val Trebbia, Province of Piacenza. The vines were planted in 1975 on clay-limestone soils at 350 to 500 feet elevation and are farmed organically using only copper and sulfur treatments.

Dinavolino is a field blend of 25% Ortrugo, 25% Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, 25% Marsanne (called Sciampagnino locally), and 25% an unidentified indigenous variety that has never been matched to a known cultivar. The wine is hand-harvested, destemmed, and spontaneously fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts. Skin maceration runs for several months, after which the wine is aged on its lees before bottling unfined, unfiltered, and with no added sulfites. ABV is approximately 12%.

Dinavolino is Armani's more accessible expression compared to Dinavolo: the lower-elevation clay-limestone soil yields plumper fruit and slightly less tannic extraction, while the aromatics — driven heavily by Malvasia di Candia Aromatica — push toward orange blossom, grapefruit zest, and apricot with a thread of thyme and almond skin through the finish. The acidity is lively and the tannins are present but fine-grained, giving the wine structure without grip.

Both Dinavolo and Dinavolino are classified as Vino Bianco table wine. Armani deliberately avoids DOC or IGT designation in order to maintain complete freedom in his winemaking approach. The wine appears cloudy amber in the glass — sediment and haze are natural and expected at this level of intervention.

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.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. 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.

Heat/Frost damage

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.
