Our Namesake, Coda Di Volpe, Comes from a Grape Only Found in Southern Italy
WINE Our namesake, Coda di Volpe, comes from a grape only found in Southern Italy. Pulled from near extinction, it is one that expresses the true landscape & vineyards of Campania. Meaning “Tail of the Fox,” Coda di Volpe has influenced our entire wine program. Some of the most dynamic wines in the world are being made & bottled from the six traditional regions of Southern Italy; Campania, Basilicata, Puglia, Calabria, Sicily & Sardinia.

Silvio Carta Mirto - Historical Recipe
The Company At the beginning of the '50s Silvio Carta founded the eponymous company - which is now one of the most prestigious and most active in Sardinia - and started vinification and refining of Vernaccia, a wine that has a noble tradition and is an authentic jewel of the Sardinian oenology, subsequently acquiring a leading position in the Sardinian marketplace in just a few short years. After a couple more years, the company had conquered the hearts of the public beyond regional borders thanks to a broad range of excellent quality products in the field of liquors and spirits. Since then, tradition and innovation have gone hand in hand to guarantee quality and goodness. The company’s business philosophy is expressed in the simple slogan 'Armonia della natura' ('harmony in nature'). The territory The company was built in an area that is particularly suitable for the cultivation of renowned vine varieties and the spontaneous development of officinal plants. The clear sea, the sharp mountains covered by intricate vegetation of wild beauty, the winds that blow from different directions for the majority of the year and the bright sun that shines in every season allow the flora and fauna of the island to have organoleptic proper-ties that are unique in the world and impossible to imitate. The culture Sardinia is famous for having evidence of human presence since very ancient times, of which nuraghi are the most significant and well-known image among the broad public. However, the island's charm doesn't only come from the unique beauty and variety of its maritime areas, but also from other peculiar elements that make it a completely unmistakable world, including its culture, habits and traditions, folk costumes that are still, even now, jealously guarded, archaeology and, last but by no means least, its enogastronomy. -
An Empirical Investigation on Quality Wines
BIO Web of Conferences 9, 03014 (2017) DOI: 10.1051/bioconf/20170903014 40th World Congress of Vine and Wine On the effects of search attributes on price variability: An empirical investigation on quality wines Antonio Seccia1, Domenico Carlucci2, Fabio Gaetano Santeramo1, Tiziana Sarnari3, and Gianluca Nardone1 1 Department of Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences, University of Foggia, Foggia, Italy 2 Department of Agro-Environmental and Territorial Sciences, University of Bari, Bari, Italy 3 Ismea, Roma, Italy Abstract. The choice of a bottle of wine is affected by the presence of attributes that are searched by consumers and can be evaluated before the purchase. The aim of the paper is to analyze the effect of some search attributes on wine price variability applying the Hedonic Price Model. It allows explaining how the price of wine varies depending on its main quality attributes. The analysis has been based on a sample of wines made in Puglia, Italian region characterized by a tradition in wine production and consumption. Data have been collected from a wine guidebook considering the years 2008–2013. The study provided a measure of the market value of some search attributes for wines produced in Puglia. Attributes as alcoholic content, age and score given by experts, influence price variability allowing wines to obtain a premium price, such as the most known Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and some Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). The name of the variety seems not to have high influence with the exception of less known and locally grown varieties. Results may be of interest for marketers and policy makers of wine industry. -
A Leader in Wine
ITALY: A Leader in Wine Interview by Kristen Wolfe Bieler ■ Portraits by Andrew Kist The Italian Trade Commission has been promoting their Naturalemente Italiano program for five years now, with great success. We sat down with Trade Commissioner Executive Director for the USA, Aniello Musella, to discuss what the Commission has planned for the present and future of Italian wines in the United States. The Beverage Network: How has the American Musella: Yes.

Atti Del Seminario “La Vernaccia Di Oristano”
Atti del seminario “La Vernaccia di Oristano” Accademia Italiana della Vite e del Vino Oristano, 15 Maggio 2009 Università di Sassari 1 LA VITIVINICOLTURA ORISTANESE NELL’AMBITO DEL COMPARTO AGRO-ALIMENTARE Accademico Dott. Enzo Biondo La Provincia di Oristano istituita nel 1974, rappresenta una delle otto Province Sarde con il maggior numero di Comuni (88), con un numero di circa 168.000 abitanti (il 10,3% della popolazione sarda). Si sviluppa su una estensione di 3.040 km2 (1,6% del territorio sardo), ha una superficie agraria utilizzata di 195.771 ettari, una superficie agraria vitata di circa 3.580 ettari (il 13,83% di quella regionale) (Tab.A), rappresentata dalla produzione di uve a bacca nera per il 63% e da uve a bacca bianca per il restante 37% (Tab. D). Negli anni novanta la sua superficie vitata era rappresentata da ben 6.965 ettari, con una perdita netta, rispetto all’attuale patrimonio viticolo provinciale, pari a circa il 48,60%. Il depauperamento di un così importante patrimonio viticolo ha creato nell’immediato non solo una diminuzione drastica delle giornate lavorative ma, soprattutto, un ridimensionamento consistente degli stabilimenti cooperativi che, in alcune aree, è stata la causa che ha determinato la cessazione dell’attività produttiva. Una risposta in positivo che poteva derivarne da questa “estirpazione selvaggia”, poteva essere quella finalizzata ad un miglioramento della selezione dei vitigni e delle rese unitarie, ad una migliore localizzazione dei vigneti nelle aree a più spiccata vocazione viticola, orientata al miglioramento della qualità che, solo in limitate occasione, e in specifiche micro-aree è stata operata dai produttori più avveduti e intelligenti.
