Biodynamic, Natural, Amber wine* - -
* Amber wines are wines made with white grapes, where the juice is left to macerate with the skins for several days, weeks or even months in some cases. The result is an amber coloured wine, that taste like a white, but with more structure and sometimes, tannins.
-----------------------
Light, summery and fresh, with lovely notes of tangerine, orange zest and lime ending with dry, mineral notes. 11.5% abv.
Falanghina grapes are hand-harvested and de-stemmed. The grapes ferment traditionally in stainless steel tanks, in contact with the skins for about 5 days with indigenous yeast only. The wine is unfined and unfiltered.

Calcarius are based in Apricena, in the northern region of Gargano, Puglia (just south of Abruzzo). Valentina Passalacqua and Danilo Marcucci oversee a farm comprising 80 hectares of vines, fruit and vegetables.
The vineyards are characterised by kimmeridgian calcareous soils (thus Calcarius) and are true wines of terroir – mineral, tense, and uncompromising. Valentina has been the leading exponent of biodynamics in Puglia since 2000.
