Valentina Passalacqua has an absolutely organic approach to viticulture, having developed a great knowledge of the terroir in which her company is located.

Valentina, after several years of production, felt the need to isolate within her vineyards some plots characterized by exclusively calcareous soil of the Kimmeridgian type, hence the now famous Calcarius Project was born: wines mineral, genuine and uncompromising.

The company breeds native varieties which are the result of a historical-cultural contamination that has its roots in Magna Graecia: Nero di Troia, Bombino, Greco, Falanghina, Negramaro and Aleatico first and foremost.
