The Calce terroir is based on limestone and marly limestone soils, which give the wines natural freshness, marked minerality and a tension that makes the taste buds tingle. The whites are taut, saline, sometimes aged on their lees, while the reds stand out for their finesse, silky tannins and great drinkability.
Since the 1990s, driven by figures such as Gérard Gauby, a new generation of winegrowers has chosen Calce to reinvent winegrowing. Respect for the soils, winemaking without chemical additives, indigenous yeasts: everything is designed to let the grape and the place speak. These are signature wines, deeply rooted in their terroir.
