Foxtail
Chamomile and hawthorn and honey. An unprecedented passito with an astonishing freshness: a double personality.
SANPAOLO - CAMPANIA (Torrioni, Avellino), ITALY
Perched on a volcanic hill surrounded by vineyards and woods, it collects the legacy of a historical area and projects it into the future with a contemporary vision and language. It rises in the capital of Greco di Tufo DOCG in the heart of Irpinia, on a hilly ridge, to the right of the Sabato river. The grapes come from selected plots in the most suitable areas and are grown up to 700 meters above sea level, where the strong temperature range enhances its aroma. The soil is varied between clayey, calcareous, sandy and with ashes from Vesuvius.

Tasting notes and pairings
Golden yellow color naturally obtained from ripe grapes. The full sweetness of this wine is balanced by a touch of acidity in perfect balance. Hints of honey and dried fruit enjoyable until the finish, long and complex.
