Calanchi are clayey rocks. These conical sculptures in white clay, that stand along the seashore between Palizzi and Capo Spartivento right down in the south of Calabria, in their whiteness and silence create a unique landscape. Calanchi Organic wine was born here, against a natural backdrop that cherishes the wisdom of generations of farmers who, on the hills of Palizzi, have always cultivated the vines overlooking the sea.
