Coda Rossa Winery is a winery in the Franklinville section of Franklin Township in Gloucester County, New Jersey, United States.[2][3] The vineyard was first planted in 2002.[4][5] The current owners obtained the property and winery in 2021, and previously Coda Rossa opened to the public in 2010. Coda Rossa has 10 acres of grapes under cultivation, and produces 1,500 cases of wine per year.[1][5] The winery is named for the Italian words coda rossa which mean "red tail," because of the red-tailed hawks that live near the farm.[6][7]
