Coda di Volpe

Pronounced KOH-dah dee VOHL-peh

If you drink Pinot Grigio for its ease, Coda di Volpe gives you the same low-effort white with more to say: soft, round, and finished with bitter almond.

Tasting profile
Ripe pear and yellow apple up front, a gentle body, and a dry almond twist at the close that keeps it from going soft.
