I'm looking for the following: narrow last, medium flex, din sole, with walk mode. Could be overlap or 3 piece. So far I have the Dalbello Lupo on the list. Any others I should be considering?

The ones that fit your feet the best should be added to the list....
Get the red ones.
Tecnica Cochise
Lange XT
what everyone else said.

The Lupo isn't what I consider "medium" flex, it's pretty stiff even with the softer "C" tongue. This season's Tecnica Cochise isn't low volume at all unless you get the 130 flex, which still isn't that narrow for a 98mm boot - NEXT year's Cochise will be a legit 99mm forefoot with a much snugger midfoot in all flexes. The Lange XT series is available in 100mm and 97mm versions, if you need narrow make sure you get the 97 (labelled "LV" in product descriptions). Salomon Quest Max series may also work.
If you are really going to tour in this boot and need a decent walk mode, the list of options gets much smaller. I assume you mean an ISO/DIN 5355 (flat) sole - is this to use existing alpine bindings?
Thanks gregL, I meant the Lupo 110, which I think is a little softer than the Lupo with the C tongue. Thanks for the other advice. I'm not looking for a serious touring boot, just something I can use on alpine bindings as well as barons, with an occasional hike.
