BENEVENTANO IGP - CODA DI VOLPE - CAMPANIA
In Calvi, a small village in the heart of the Sannio a few hundred meters from the Taurasi hills, Antonio Palermo and his wife Angela farm five hectares of estate-owned vines, biodynamically since 2013. Coda di Volpe, named for its long bunch shaped like a fox's tail, is one of the historic white grapes of Campania. Covante is its honest, low-intervention expression: certified organic, fermented in steel with a brief skin contact, and released only after a long rest.
Grape variety
100% Coda di Volpe. Certified organic (CODEX).
Vineyards of origin
Estate-owned vineyards in Calvi (Benevento), in the middle Calore valley of the Sannio, at about 400 meters above sea level.
Soil: Clay.
Training system: Espalier, spurred cordon.
Season in the field: Manual harvest between September and October.
Vinification
Fermentation in stainless steel with a very brief maceration on the skins; minimal use of sulphites.

Tasting notes
Bright golden yellow. On the nose, pear and yellow apple, ripe apricot and citrus peel, with hints of honey and a flinty, mineral note. On the palate, dry and harmonious, with a round texture, gentle freshness and a medium-long, savory finish.
Pairings
Vegetable dishes, seafood and shellfish, fried fish, fresh cheeses and Campanian appetizers. A natural partner for pasta with vegetables and for pizza.
Alcohol content and serving temperature
