Cantina Giardino

Paski Coda di Volpe 2019

£29.95

Cantina Giardino Paski is a shining jewel of a natural wine (an orange wine in this case) born out of 60 years old vines in Campania’s stunningly beautiful Irpinia area. This incredibly deep and nuanced orange wine is born from 70 years old vines of the rare and ancient variety Coda di Volpe, meaning “fox’s tail”. The organically farmed vineyard stands at almost 500m of elevation and gives birth to healthy grapes of incredible concentration and character. Despite the shimmering amber color, it has spent only 2 days on the skins before being pressed and seeing elevage in chestnut barrels. Cantina Giardino Paski Coda di Volpe orange seamlessly combines rustic power and infectious drinkability, singing of dried pomelo, turmeric, sandalwood and caramelised winter melon.

Producer Profile

Cantina Giardino

Cantina Giardino, located in Campania’s mountainous area of Irpinia, is the brainchild of true natural wine pioneers Antonio and Daniela De Gruttola, who in the late ’90s began to salvage and work naturally parcels of old vines, some up to 100 years of age, of local varieties such as Greco, Coda di Volpe, Fiano, and Aglianico.

In the cellar all wines see nothing added or taken away, all of them having no added SO2. Antonio and Daniela combine the use of amphora and gres porcelain, which they believe can sublimate the soul of grapes and terroir, with traditional cherry, acacia, and chestnut barrels. Toeing the line between cultural statements and living works of art, these are wines that speak to the soul, heart, and intellect.
