Frecciabomb Calcarius

The Frecciabomb Bianco is a vivid, electric transmission from the white limestone soils of the Gargano National Park. Part of Valentina Passalacqua’s revolutionary "Progetto Calcarius," this wine is a celebration of the Kimmeridgian calcium, an element so central to the wine's identity that its atomic number (20) and atomic weight (40.08) are emblazoned right on the label.

Made from 100% Falanghina, captured in the bottle before its first fermentation ends, the result is a wine that feels alive: naturally sparkling, delightfully cloudy, and bursting with the raw energy of a Puglia spring.

On the nose, it is an explosion of citrus zest, crunchy pineapple, and wild Mediterranean scrub, layered over a distinct, chalky minerality. On the palate, it’s all about the "crunch". Expect a bone dry, vertical acidity that cuts through like a laser, balanced by a fine, creamy bubble and a refreshing finish.

Unfiltered, undefined, and wildly drinkable, Frecciabomb is a testament to Valentina’s non interventionist philosophy. More than a sparkling wine, it’s a "bomb" of freshness designed for long afternoons, salty snacks, and the kind of effortless joy that only true natural wine can provide.
