“If there is one mistake you can make with wine, it is rushing. Wine needs calm.” Diego Calcabrina’s approach also helps him balance winemaking with the demanding work of making cheese exclusively from goat’s milk.
For Diego, the starting point is bringing the healthiest grapes possible to the cellar and attending to fermentation without adding anything beyond what the must already contains. Each year behaves differently. “It is not necessarily complicated, but it requires sensitivity to nuances.”
The Umbrian farm grows Sagrantino and Sangiovese. Diego sees Sagrantino as a powerful means of expressing the region. Biodynamic farming reflects his belief in caring for the land and in consumers’ ability to influence food production through thoughtful purchasing.
