The Sannio DOC Coda di Volpe from La Guardiense is a white wine that presents itself with simplicity and straightforwardness, intended for everyday drinking but with character. Produced under the Sannio DOC designation, it expresses itself in a linear, accessible way: offering an easy-drinking style suitable for informal meals as well as dishes that call for freshness. It is a practical choice for those seeking a balanced Italian white, without excess, that modestly highlights the grape.

On the nose it tends to show delicate notes of white flowers, white-fleshed fruit and a hint of citrus; on the palate it confirms a good freshness and a salinity that supports the sip, with a generally lightly almond-tinged finish. It is recommended to serve it chilled but not ice-cold, in fairly large glasses to preserve the aromas, and to pair it with fish dishes, grilled vegetables and antipasti; it also works well as an aperitif wine for those who prefer lighter, approachable wines.
