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.

YIELD PER HECTARE: Q / HA

Coda di Volpe is a minor, albeit very ancient, vine from Campania, of probable Greek origin, already present in the Italian peninsula in Roman times, as Pliny testifies in his Naturalis Historia (1st century AD).
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.
