"CALX comes from our friend Fillipo Cassano, owner of the certified organic winery called Polvanera in Puglia, the ‘heel’ of Italy’s boot. He’s worked to make us the Calx bottling, which is the ancient Latin word for limestone, the unique soil found here. Limestone blocks are also the lego for the old traditional dwellings called trulli. The limestone soils here give the Primitivo grape here a freshness, with notes of zingy red berries and dried figs. Like all the reds in the FUSO project, it’s good with a slight chill, so maybe pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes (or pull it our of the fridge beforehand for 10 minutes). As always, FUSO is our project to search for and bottle Italy’s natural and characterful daily drinkers. We work with farmers and producer friends who are committed to organic viticulture, low-intervention, and terroir-driven wines." -Importer
