VINEYARD
Our Coda di Volpe grapes grow in hilly vineyards surrounding Paternopoli at some 480 meters a.s.l. in rows in an upwards trained vertical shoot position (Guyot system).
HARVEST
The harvest is done by hand from the first week of October.
VINIFICATION
The grapes are traditionally cold soaked for 12 hours at a temperature of 10°C, and then slowly squeezed in a press machine. This is followed by a fermentation of 15 days at a temperature of 18°C in steel tanks.
MATURING
The wine is bottled in the spring following the harvest, after which it rests for another 2 or 3 months in the bottle before it is ready for consumption.
ORGANOLEPTIC QUALITIES
A bright golden yellow colour with a delicate scent of tropical fruits and flowers. The taste is a combination between a soft minerality, lively acidity and the presence of roasted hazelnuts and almonds, particularly in the aftertaste.
FOOD PAIRING
Its full fresh taste is very suitable as an aperitif, but also combines well with rich fish dishes, sea fruit, white meats and various types of salads and fresh cheeses.
