Calcarius

Winemaker Valentina Passalacqua is the soul of Calcarius. It is based in Apricena, Gargano National Park, a step away from the most beautiful beaches in Southern Italy. After years of studying the land, Valnetina decided she should isolate the plots of her vineyards characterised exclusively by Kimnmeridgian Calcareous soils. From this Calcarius was born. Limestone is the distinctive element of the terroir, the Apricena stone consisting of 96% calcium carbonate, the symbol of which is indicated on all the labels. They have a carefully non-interventionist approach focused mainly on native varieties: Nero di Troia, Bombino, Greco, Falanghina, Negroamaro and Aleatico.

Puglia

Puglia, located in the southeastern part of Italy, is a prominent wine region known for its rich history and vibrant wine culture. Often referred to as the "heel" of Italy's boot, it has been producing wine for thousands of years, with viticulture deeply rooted in its ancient Greek and Roman heritage.

Puglia's warm Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine and cooling sea breezes, creates ideal conditions for growing robust and flavorful grapes. The area is particularly renowned for its red wines, with Primitivo and Negroamaro being the standout varieties. Primitivo, closely related to California's Zinfandel, produces bold, fruit-forward wines with high alcohol content, while Negroamaro is known for its deep color and complex flavors, often with hints of dark fruit and spices.

Puglia also produces notable rosé wines, particularly from the Salento area, and a range of full-bodied white wines, making it one of Italy's most diverse and dynamic wine regions.
