CANTINA INDIGENO Calanchi Rosso

Calanchi Rosso from Cantina Indigeno is a vibrant red natural wine hailing from the Abruzzo region of Central Italy. Crafted from 100% Montepulciano grapes grown organically on limestone-rich "Calanchi" soils, this wine embodies the winery’s minimalist ethos. It undergoes spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in open vats, with just one day of skin contact, followed by eight months of aging in fiberglass tanks. Bottled unfiltered and unfined, with minimal sulfites (1mg/L), it’s a pure expression of its terroir. Expect a bright, fruit-forward profile with small-berried Montepulciano notes—think wild berries and a touch of earthiness—balanced by lively acidity and a light-bodied, juicy finish. This is a bold yet approachable wine, perfect for those seeking an authentic, unadulterated taste of Abruzzo’s rugged landscape. Serve slightly chilled to enhance its refreshing, drinkable charm.
