Fox Tail: the Campanian white to discover
The Fox Tail collection gathers a selection of expressive Campanian whites, linked to one of the most iconic denominations and grape varieties of Irpinia and the Vesuvius area. These are wines that focus on freshness, drinkability, and territorial personality, with aromatic profiles capable of naturally accompanying seafood, vegetables, fresh cheeses, and dishes from the Mediterranean tradition.
In this selection, labels such as Fox Tail DOP Irpinia Di Prisco Fontanarosa, Torama Fox Tail DOC Irpinia, Fox Tail Pompeiano IGT Donna Carolina, and Fox Tail Irpinia DOC 2020 Michele Perillo coexist, along with interpretations linked to broader denominations like Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco DOC. The result is an interesting panorama for those seeking authentic, versatile territorial whites.
Character, style, and territory
The Fox Tail is a traditional grape variety of Irpinia and inner Campania, appreciated for its ability to produce balanced wines, soft yet supported by a fresh savory imprint. In the versions present in the collection, nuances emerge that evoke white-fleshed fruit, citrus, delicate herbs, and a pleasant mineral finish. It is a wine that speaks of the territory without ever being heavy, ideal for those who desire a characterful white that is immediate on the palate.
Alongside the wines more directly linked to the grape variety, the presence of labels such as Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco DOC JANESTA 2023, Lacryma Christi del Vesuvio Bianco DOC Superiore Vigna Lapillo, and LACRYMA CHRISTI DEL VESUVIO DOC 2023 CHRATE' BIANCO - Le Lune del Vesuvio broadens the interpretation of the territory, capturing the volcanic vocation of the slopes of Vesuvius in a bottle. These are wines that combine tension, depth, and a strong geographical identity.
The wineries featured in the selection
The collection highlights important producers from the Campanian landscape such as Di Prisco Fontanarosa, Luigi Tecce, Perillo Michele Azienda Agricola, Sorrentino Vini, Tenuta Le Lune del Vesuvio Parisi Grazia, and Vadiaperti - Traerte srl. Each winery offers a different interpretation of Campanian white, blending artisanal rigor, finesse, and enhancement of the vineyard landscape.
When to choose a Fox Tail
A Fox Tail wine is a smart choice for those seeking a gastronomic white, capable of pairing well at the table without dominating the flavors. It pairs easily with seafood appetizers, light soups, pasta dishes with vegetables, delicate white meats, and buffalo mozzarella. In more structured versions, such as some Irpinian or Vesuvius expressions, it can also support more flavorful preparations and dishes with a slightly smoky or spicy finish.
