This month we present Vite Aminea, a beautiful white that balances intensity with elegance. Produced in Campania, in southern Italy—a region known for its volcanic soils linked to Mount Vesuvius—this wine blends Falanghina, which brings freshness, acidity, and aromatic lift, with Coda di Volpe, which adds softness, texture, and roundness.
Aromas of summer stone fruits—apricot and peach—open into more exotic notes of mango and ripe banana. On the palate, it shows remarkable harmony: crisp acidity meets generous roundness, while a full body is gracefully supported by moderate alcohol. The finish is long and clean, making this Falanghina–Coda di Volpe blend a refined and versatile partner at the table.
Long cultivated in southern Italy, Falnghina and Coda di Volpe are native grapes that carry with them a quiet sense of history and place, and yet they remain surprisingly under the radar.
Falanghina is often celebrated for its bright acidity and lifted aromatics, while Coda di Volpe, whose name means “tail of the fox”, is prized for its softer texture and gentle roundness. Together, they seem to answer a question few wines ask outright: can freshness and generosity truly coexist in balance?
The result is a style that feels both familiar and intriguing—inviting a second glass, if only to understand it a little better.
