A juicy, unmanipulated Primitivo from Filippo Cassano — the Puglian winemaker better known for his certified-organic estate Polvanera. The Fuso project, in collaboration with importer PortoVino, lets Cassano work in a freer, more direct register: hand-harvested organic fruit from 30-year-old vines, naturally fermented with a pied de cuve, raised in stainless steel, bottled unfined and unfiltered with minimal sulfur. The name 'Calx' is Latin for limestone — a nod to the chalky soils that give this wine its tension. The result is a Primitivo that turns the stereotype on its head: light on its feet, bright with red fruit and orange zest, all energy and freshness rather than weight.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Pizza nights, wood-fired everything, sausage-and-pepper sandwiches, eggplant parm. Also a great match for grilled vegetables, lamb burgers, charcuterie boards, and pasta with tomato-based sauces. Try it with a slight chill.

Tasting Profile

Juicy red cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate aromas with a lift of orange zest and dried herbs. Light- to medium-bodied with ripping acidity, gentle tannins, and a clean, mineral finish — Primitivo reimagined as a fresh, drinkable red.
