At its best, Coda di Volpe is medium-full and dry white, typically unoaked, that has melon, apple and pear flavors along with notes of white flowers. There is very good acidity in most years, and the wines offer notable complexity and a delicate touch of minerality and spice in the finish. Appreciating Some Of Italy’s Lesser Known Varietals And Grapes | Forbes
