Style: Dry, medium-bodied orange wine; the four-day maceration on Coda di Volpe skins imparts amber color, gentle tannins, and a textural grip that sets the wine apart from conventional whites; exotic, aromatic, and mineral, with ripe southern Italian fruit balanced by high-altitude freshness and volcanic salinity
Grapes & terroir: 100% Coda di Volpe ("fox's tail"); 70-year-old organically farmed vines on volcanic and calcareous marl soils at approximately 1,475 feet in Irpinia, Campania; municipalities of Paternopoli and Montemarano; vines grow without trellising in traditional mixed-agriculture plots alongside olive and fruit trees; no chemical inputs
Winemaking: Hand-harvested; four days skin maceration with pump-overs; spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, no temperature control; 12 months aging in local chestnut barrels (15–30 hl); unfined, unfiltered, zero additions, no added sulfites
Serving temperature & decanting: Serve at 55–58°F; decant 30–45 minutes, or give the wine extended time in the glass — it opens significantly with air
Pairing: Spaghetti alle vongole (Italian pasta with clams)
Similar to: Skin-contact Greco di Tufo, Ramato Pinot Grigio from Friuli, amber wines from Georgia's Kakheti region

Cantina Giardino Coda di Volpe Paski 2022 is a dry skin-contact wine made from 100% Coda di Volpe, an ancient indigenous white grape of Campania, grown on 70-year-old organically farmed vines at approximately 1,475 feet altitude in the municipalities of Paternopoli and Montemarano in Irpinia. The volcanic and calcareous marl soils give the wine its distinctive mineral character.

Cantina Giardino Coda di Volpe Paski 2022 is bottled without fining, filtration, or any additions. Campania IGT.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice-packs upon request. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Cantina Giardino

Cantina Giardino was founded in 2003 by Antonio and Daniela De Gruttola in Irpinia, Campania, though the project began in the late 1990s when Antonio started experimenting with natural fermentation without the use of biotechnology, sulfites, or filtration. Antonio studied food technology before specializing in viticulture and enology in Piedmont — an unusual background for a Campanian producer that gave him the scientific grounding to approach natural winemaking with rigor rather than romanticism.

The driving purpose of Cantina Giardino was recovery: the rescue of old vineyards, ancient indigenous varieties, and traditional vine-tending practices that were being lost to industrial farming and rural depopulation in Irpinia. Together with four friends, Antonio and Daniela identified neglected parcels across the province of Avellino planted with Aglianico, Coda di Volpe, Greco, and Fiano, many with vines 50 to over 100 years old. Today the estate manages around 21 hectares spread across 16 parcels with distinct microclimates and soil types.

The old vines grow in traditional mixed-agriculture plots — often alongside olive and fruit trees — trained without modern trellising systems in ways that mirror centuries-old local practice. Organic farming is practiced throughout, with no synthetic inputs. In the cellar, Antonio's philosophy is one of strict non-intervention: spontaneous fermentation without temperature control, aging in terracotta amphorae (some made by Daniela from vineyard clay), sandstone vessels, and casks of local chestnut, cherry, and acacia wood. Nothing is added at any stage, and no sulfites are used.

Each vintage, the labels across the range are redesigned by different local artists, giving the wines a visual identity as expressive and individual as what's inside.

Wine region

Campania, Italy

Irpinia is the mountainous interior of Campania, occupying the province of Avellino roughly 50 miles east of Naples. It is one of southern Italy's most historically significant wine territories, holding three DOCG appellations of national importance: Taurasi for Aglianico, Fiano di Avellino, and Greco di Tufo. Despite this prestige, Irpinia remained relatively obscure internationally for much of the twentieth century, overshadowed by the coastal and volcanic wines of the broader Campanian region.

The landscape is defined by the Apennine foothills — ridges and valleys at elevations typically ranging from around 1,000 to over 2,300 feet. This altitude is fundamental to the character of the wines: high-altitude sites have cooler temperatures, wider diurnal swings, and later harvests than the Campanian coastal plains, which allows grapes to retain natural acidity and aromatic complexity while still achieving full ripeness in the southern Italian sun. The soils are varied but predominantly volcanic in origin, shaped by ancient eruptions that left deposits of tuff, volcanic ash, and calcareous marl across the hillsides. This combination of volcanic minerals and limestone gives Irpinian wines a distinctive tension and salinity.

The region was severely affected by the 1980 Irpinia earthquake, which destroyed villages and displaced farming communities. Many vineyards were abandoned in the aftermath, including many of the old-vine parcels of indigenous varieties that Cantina Giardino and others have since worked to recover. Indigenous grape varieties — Aglianico, Greco, Fiano, Coda di Volpe, Falanghina, Pallagrello, and others — have been cultivated here since ancient Greek and Roman times, and the best naturally minded producers have demonstrated that these varieties, grown on old vines in volcanic mountain soils, are capable of producing wines of rare character and precision.
