Lunacalma
Taburno Sannio Coda di Volpe
DOP
History and Identity
The silence of the night takes shape in the glass.
The slender clusters of Coda di Volpe evoke the light step of a nocturnal creature. The image is of a summer night: the moon high above, the countryside still, a fox approaching, a barely perceptible movement among the rows, tasting and disappearing, leaving behind only a whisper of leaves and scent. Lunacalma is born from this balance of delicacy and quiet. A suspended wine, where everything happens without a sound.
