2020 Cantina Giardino Volpe Rosa

WINEMAKER: Antonio & Daniela De Gruttola
REGION: Campania, IT
VARIETAL: Coda di Volpe Rossa
VITICULTURE: Organic

Coda di Volpe Rossa 100%. Ancient vines that grow, as per tradition, alongside Aglianico grapes. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts and maceration on the skins for 2 days, 12 months in used chestnut barrels and 6 months in the bottle. Cantina Giardino's Volpe Rosa is a gem of the Irpinia area produced from a very rare grape, the Code di Volpe Rossa. It is a rosé wine that smells of Mediterranean herbs, small ripe red fruits, honey and light essences of dried flowers. On the palate there is a lively, rustic and invigorating freshness that makes the sip agile and vibrant.

Cantina Giardino seek out old vineyards in Irpinia, high in the hills of Campania, preserving and championing local varietals. High altitudes, volcanic soils, organic farming and honest winemaking, Antonio and Daniela's wines are expressive of terroir and speak of place.
