Valentina Passalacqua
Puglia, Italy
Valentina Passalacqua owns a large biodynamic farm with agricultural land and vineyards and has been the largest biodynamic producer of Puglia since the year 2000. Although being large, the enterprise seeks to look after their terroir, products and labour with passion. Valentina produces wine under her own name and label as well as under the Progetto Calcarius label, a project she started together with Danilo Marcucci a few years ago.
Passalacqua felt the need to isolate a few of her parcels that are characterised by soils of the Kimmeridgien type, rich in lime. Thus a new line was born. Wines, originating from mineral terroirs, without compromise and only made of the native varieties Nero di Troia, Bombino, Greco, Falanghina and Negroamaro. No intervention whatsoever occurs in the cellar.
Many of her wines are delivered in very drinkable 1 liter bottles, perfect for summery weather and to be shared between friends. This is natural wine that drinks as “juice for adults”.
The numbers 20 and 40.08 are placed on the label. This is a representation of the chemical element Calcium (Ca). 20 represents the atomic number of calcium while 40,08 represents its atomic weight.
NEW in from the Calcarius line are the orange and white key kegs, they come in 20 liter and are a great way to pour stable, juicy wines by the glass!
