Coda di VolpeIrpinia 2021, Michele Perillo
A monumental white wine for its rigor and fidelity to Irpinia. The olfactory profile alternates between ripe yellow fruits and mineral and hydrocarbon notes of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is dense, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between the power of the sip and the mountain freshness of Castelfranci. A stylish demonstration that ennobles a grape variety too often underestimated.
Coda di VolpeIrpinia 2021, Michele Perillo
The Coda di Volpe Irpinia 2021 by Michele Perillo is a monumental white that defies conventions. Produced in Castelfranci, in the beating heart of the most extreme and high-altitude Irpinia, this wine reflects Perillo's philosophy of 'time': releasing it only when the wine is ready. The 2021 vintage, a year of great balance, allowed Coda di Volpe to express a complexity reminiscent of the great whites of the North, while maintaining a volcanic and Mediterranean soul. On the nose, it is a concert of rare breadth: notes of medlar, lemon peel, and broom blend with deep scents of flint, medicinal herbs, chestnut honey, and an almost briny smoky trace. On the palate, it is sumptuous and textured; the entry is broad and enveloping, supported by a granular mineral structure and a vibrant acidity that gives unexpected verticality. The finish is endless, savory, and characterized by a return of bitter almond and sulfur.
