The strong temperature fluctuations due to altitude and the stony soils contribute to the maturation of grapes with a intense and refined aromatic profile. The long aging in wood helps to soften the youthful roughness of the grape variety, offering a harmonious and balanced sip. The floral bouquet, delicately fruity and spicy, provides a high-level tasting experience.
“Dossi Salati” Valtellina Superiore Riserva Grumello is born in a small artisanal reality, founded by two enologist friends. The Dirupi winery cultivates 7 hectares, divided into many small plots located in 20 different areas of the denomination. The vineyards are situated at an altitude between 400 and 600 meters above sea level, on steep terraced slopes with dry stone walls. The estate's philosophy has always been focused on enhancing the territory and producing wines of high quality, fresh and elegant. The grapes come from a single parcel of particularly suited Nebbiolo, the Vigna Dossi Salati, located at an altitude between 530 and 570 meters above sea level. At the end of the manual harvest, the best bunches are sent for fermentation in oak vats with a skin maceration of about a month. The wine matures in 20-hectoliter barrels for 24 months and then completes its aging in the bottle.
