  • Score: 90 Vintage 2022 James Suckling A nice green pepper and herbal touch to the neutral white fruit and chalk. Phenolic and slightly grippy on the dry, medium- to full-bodied palate, showing flesh and structure. A well-made coda di volpe. Drink now. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 90 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media The 2021 Coda di Volpe is understated in the glass, slowly evolving with young peach and crushed stone aromas. It’s round and pliant in feel. A candied citrus hint elevates crisp orchard fruits as a mineral-tinged acidity maintains a lovely inner freshness. Mint and sour melon nuances resonate as the 2021 finishes with medium length and a salty flourish. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 88 Vintage 2021 Wine Advocate The Terredora di Paolo 2021 Irpinia Coda di Volpe Le Starse should be served very chilled, because that's when the aromas are prettiest. It reveals a light straw color with golden pear, mango and other mild tropical tones. This vintage of Le Starse shows some mild creaminess to its texture. This sets the wine up nicely for a plate of ravioli filled with ricotta and topped with lemon zest. The wine's 14% alcohol content will cut through the cheese and citrus component. Some 13,000 bottles were released. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 91 Vintage 2019 James Suckling Lots of crushed stone and cement with lemon rind and lemon-tree leaf. Full-bodied and medium-dense with a salty and tangy palate and some peach skin at the end. Drink now. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 88 Vintage 2019 Wine Advocate The Terredora di Paolo 2019 Irpinia Coda di Volpe Le Starse is zesty and fresh with the light tension and tonic approach this grape is known to deliver. The results are immediate and crystalline. You might detect a hint of candied fruit or lemon drop with some white licorice or dried ginger. I'd pair this easy wine with a simple Neapolitan favorite, spaghetti al limone di Amalfi. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 90 Vintage 2018 Vinous Media The 2018 Coda di Volpe Le Starse seduces with an opulent display of lemon custard, baked apple, incense and wet stone. Its silky textures and medium-bodied weight soothe, as a more stimulating mix of bright acids, minerals and tart orchard fruits add inner tension. This traverses both savory and sweet, tapering off with hints of green botanicals and candied ginger. Very nice. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 89 Vintage 2018 Wine Enthusiast This has floral and fruit aromas of honeysuckle and ripe orchard fruits while the linear, medium-bodied palate doles out ripe pear, acacia honey and almond. It has a tangy finish thanks to saline notes and bright acidity. KERIN O’KEEFE Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 88 Vintage 2018 Wine Spectator A lively, light-bodied white, with a fresh, woodsy waft of spring blossom and notes of peach skin, Asian pear and ground ginger. Drink now. 2,166 cases made. –AN Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 87 Vintage 2018 Wine Advocate Showing sharp lines and an easy disposition, the 2018 Irpinia Coda di Volpe Le Starse would match a Caesar salad with grilled chicken, shaved Parmigiano cheese and iceberg lettuce. The wine has a flinty, mineral side with plenty of fresh citrus and white melon. It shows a little crunch in terms of texture, and that's what made me think of a fresh salad pairing.

  • Score: 87 Vintage 2017 Vinous Media The 2017 Coda di Volpe Le Starse captivates with a smokey bouquet that mixes crushed dried flowers with wet stone and apricot. It’s soft in feel, with a pleasantly rich display of ripe apple and hazelnut balanced by saline-tinged acids. Hints of custard and peach linger long, yet I find myself craving more lift and freshness on the palate through the finish. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
