'Calx' Puglia Primitivo 2023

750 ml
$18.25
  • Organic

Calx comes from Fillipo Cassano, owner of the Cantine Polvanera in Puglia, the ‘heel’ of Italy’s boot. Calx, which is the ancient Latin word for limestone, the unique soil in this region which gives Primitivo a singular freshness. This juicy, medium-bodied, organic red is fresh and fun, with notes of zingy red berries and dried figs. Try it with salads, BBQ and grilled veggies, and even salmon. This wine is part of the FUSO project, launched by wine importer PortoVino to select natural, organically farmed, terroir-driven wines. Like all the reds in the FUSO project, it’s great with a slight chill!

Filippo Cassano

Located between Acquaviva delle Fonti and Gioia del Colle, Polvanera is surrounded by a singular countryside, with typical dry stone walls, downy oaks and vineyards. The cellar itself is uncommon: excavated into 8 meters of limestone rock, this charming structure allows the ageing of wines at a constant temperature. Founded in 2002, its owner and oenologist Filippo Cassano trained at “Basile Caramia” School of Agriculture in Locorotondo.
