Arguzia | Coda di Volpe Sannio DOP

A refined white wine from Solopaca, elegant, mineral, and full of character.

About the wine

Arguzia is an authentic expression of Coda di Volpe, an indigenous grape from Campania whose name (“fox tail”) refers to the shape of the bunches. The vineyards are located in Solopaca and nearby areas at 200 meters altitude, planted on sandy soils with medium skeleton, with vines averaging 12 years old.

After careful vineyard selection, the grapes are harvested by hand, undergo a short cryomaceration, and are softly pressed. Fermentation takes place at low temperature for about 20 days, followed by a few months of refinement in stainless steel.

Tasting notes

• Color: straw yellow with golden reflections

• Nose: dominated by notes of pear and white-fleshed fruit, with floral undertones

• Palate: elegant, balanced, with good alcohol supported by fresh but non-aggressive acidity

Food pairing

Perfect with vegetable soups, fish dishes, fresh cheeses, white meats, and also an excellent match with a traditional Campania dish such as ziti with Genoese ragù.
