It has straw-yellow hues with bright and subtle golden-light glints; it is crystalline and of excellent consistency.
Coda di Volpe, a grape already mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his “Naturalis Historia” with the name of “Cauda Vulpium” for its bunch which when fully ripe takes on the shape of the fox's tail.
Greco is a grape so called because it was brought to southern Italy by the Pelasgians of Thessaly in the 8th century BC. It is also called “aminea gemina” due to the twin shape of the small bunches.
Fiano, a grape called “Vitis Apiana” by the Latins because bees are particularly fond of the sweetness of this grape.
Ideal on crustaceans and molluscs, risotto with lagoon shrimps, trenette with pesto, fried scampi and squid, asparagus au gratin. But a wonderful companion of the best raw hams with a sweet tendency: from S. Daniele to Parma, from Sauris to Montagnana.
The taste is full and soft, with very delicate olfactory sensations ranging from floral to spicy accompanied by a honeyed hint.
Falanghina from the Greek-Latin term "Falango", that is "Palo", as the characteristic of Campania viticulture is that of the "Vine tied to the pole", or always from the Greek-Latin term "Falange", giving it the meaning of "Falange" ”Of the finger to which you would like the grape to resemble.
Strong straw yellow color, typical floral and ripe yellow fruit aroma; dry, velvety flavor, great volume and intensity. 50% in steel with inert gas protection; the remaining 50% in barrique with racking at the end of the bâtonnage. At the bottling, the two parts come together.
From Pecorello grapes, an ancient native Calabrian vine to be rediscovered and valorised. For us, Ippolito is proud of passionate research.
