About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes grow on distinctive white, rocky limestone soils dating from the Kimmeridgian period, under the warm sun of Puglia’s Gargano Peninsula.

Vinification

Spontaneous fermentation takes place in open steel tanks without temperature control, followed by 7–8 days of skin contact. The wine is bottled without filtration.

Ageing

The wine matures for six months in large steel vats.

Tasting profile

Lively and savoury, with a masculine, linear character marked by freshness and minerality.

Label / history

The Calcarius collection explores the meeting of art and science. Its central ideas are rationality, research, minerals and limestone.
