History

Giulio Armani gained extensive experience working at La Stoppa, a well-known wine company in the area owned by his friend Elena Pantaleoni. In 2005, he decided to buy several small vineyard plots on the slopes of Mount Dinavolo in the Trebbia valley, in the Piacentino area of Emilia-Romagna, marking the beginning of the Denavolo farm. The estate was dedicated to growing local grape varieties and making natural white wines, or more precisely orange wines. Today the winery has 5 hectares of vineyards.
