Grechetto, Malvasia, Trebbiano

Fattoria Calcabrina, a family-owned winery in Umbria, is dedicated to producing wines that reflect the unique characteristics of their region. The Grechetto Lacrima is a macerated white wine, crafted from Grechetto grapes grown in calcareous clay soils, which impart a distinctive minerality to the wine. The wine undergoes spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts, followed by aging on the lees for several months. This approach enhances the wine’s texture and complexity while preserving its natural acidity. Fattoria Calcabrina’s commitment to extreme organic/biodynamic farming and traditional winemaking techniques ensures that each bottle of Grechetto Lacrima is a true expression of Umbria’s rich viticultural heritage.

Calcabrina

Diego lives in the hills of Montefalco, in the heart of Umbria. After finishing his university studies, he quickly understood that a life behind a desk wasn’t for him. He left behind his degree in accounting and returned to the land—working alongside his father, Angelo, to build something that felt real.
The farm started with goats and a few old vines, and has grown slowly, without ever losing its scale or spirit. They work just a couple of hectares, organically and with biodynamic principles, using natural compost from their animals and doing everything by hand. In the cellar, Diego keeps things as simple as possible: spontaneous fermentations, no filtration, no added sulfites. Each wine is made in tiny quantities and reflects a very personal approach—intuitive, physical, and deeply tied to the land he chose to come back to.
