Flower Crown | Irpinia Coda di Volpe 2023 | Vernice

A light and floral white wine, inspired by the flower crowns of the hippie girls of the 1960s

The wine

Flower Crown is a tribute to lightness and freedom, inspired by the vibrant flower crowns of the flower power generation. On the nose it offers a bouquet of wildflowers, lilac, violet and daisy, blended with fruity notes of pear, quince, pineapple and yellow peach. On the palate, it is fresh, savory and mineral-driven, with an elegant, lingering finish.
