Production information
2022 Calcannia Clare Valley Sangiovese

Calcannia: Nestled within the picturesque Stanley Flat region of renowned Clare Valley, you'll find Calcannia. Our name draws its inspiration from the road that gracefully winds alongside the vineyard, epitomizing our connection to the land. Located just 6 kilometers north of the township of Clare, and adjacent to the serene Hutt River, the vineyard basks in perfect conditions for crafting wines of exceptional quality
Vinification & Winemaking: The cool conditions of the Clare Valley in vintage 2022 gave exceptional Sangiovese. The gently sloping alluvial soils in our vineyard provide the perfect environment to produce a muscular and fleshy Sangiovese creating varietal characters. This is small batch production at its best. The Sangiovese grapes were crushed into a small open fermenter and hand plunged to gently extract the flavor from the skins. With twelve months maturation in American oak barrels this allowed the wine to mature and soften.
