Producer Progetto Calcarius - Valenita Passalacqua

PUGLIA

We are in Apricena - Gargano national park - the first extraction center in the south, where limestone is the distinctive element of the territory. Thanks to the close link with his land, Valentina Passalacqua has adopted an organic agronomic approach from the beginning and, after a long period of observation and study, has acquired a deep knowledge of the area. After several years of production, Valentina felt the need to isolate some parcels within her vineyards characterized by an exclusively limestone soil of the Kimmeridgian type. Thus was born the Calcarius Project: minerals, terroirs and vines without compromise. The autochthonous varieties are bred on the farm and are the result of a historical-cultural contamination that has its roots in Magna Grecia: Nero di Troia, Bombino, Greco, Falanghina, Negroamaroe Aleatico above all. The cautiously non-interventionist approach in the cellar does the rest. Those indicated on all labels are the atomic number (20) and the atomic weight (40.08) of the chemical element of calcium (Ca).
