Orange

Puglia Falanghina

The Calcarius Orange wine crafted in the Puglia region showcases a delightful expression of the Falanghina varietal. This white wine exudes a fascinating hue that embodies the essence of the sun-soaked vineyards of Puglia. The body of this wine is elegantly light, with a pronounced acidity that dances on the palate. The fruit intensity is vibrant, offering a symphony of citrus and tropical fruit flavors. The tannins are subtle, allowing the refreshing dryness of the wine to shine through, making it a perfect companion for a leisurely afternoon under the Italian sun.

Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
