“Calcis” is Latin for limestone, a fitting name for the bedrock that defines this land. Just beneath a thin layer of sandy soil lies a deep stratum of limestone, rich in minerals essential for soil health. Its natural ability to retain moisture proves vital during Sicily’s hot, dry summers, helping vines endure the heat and thrive despite drought conditions.
This distinctive terroir, shaped over millennia, is the foundation of Vittoria’s exceptional wines. The balance of structure and freshness, the fine-grained tannins, and the lively acidity all speak to the land’s generous character, expressed with both elegance and strength.
Calcis is a white wine with a golden-yellow hue. Medium-bodied with notable structure and complexity, it opens on the nose with clean, fresh aromas, featuring floral notes of petals alongside subtle hints of yellow-fleshed fruit. On the palate, it’s vibrant and refreshing, marked by bright acidity and a distinct salinity, a reflection of the limestone-rich soils where the grapes are grown.
