In Irpinia, wines made from Coda di Volpe grapes exhibit vibrant fruitiness, showcasing the essence of the terroir. When grown in volcanic soils, they adopt a more austere character, marked by a steely demeanor reminiscent of Riesling. Conversely, in richer soils and warmer climates, this versatile grape transforms into a lusciously ripe rendition, akin to a Chardonnay infused with tropical fruit notes. Expect a pale straw-green hue, accompanied by invigorating aromas of menthol and lemon. Its lively acidity is complemented by a saline, tactile sensation on the palate, layered with herbaceous nuances that add complexity to the wine’s profile.
