Coda di Volpe Irpinia DOC
Classification: Coda di Volpe D.O.C.
Grape Variety: 100% Coda di Volpe
Provenance: Central Irpinia, the vineyards are located completely within the Province of Avellino, with hilly and good exposure, land for winegrowing
Density: 3.000 vines/Hectare
Yield: 80 quintals/Hectare
Training System: Guyot
Vinification and Maturing: Grapes are harvested at the beginning of October; fermentation is at a controlled temperature.
Alcohol: 13.5%.
Organoleptic characteristics: Foxtail like bunches, in form as well as in colour, hang loosely from pale lemon leaves. For years dismissed as only fruit good enough for blending, it’s now making a comeback. Small berries and thin skins combine to give a richly expressive, pulpy mandarin fruited wine, underpinned by brilliant minerality.
Serving temperature: 50°F.
