Info

Calafata is not just a winery. In terms of wine, it should rather be called a cooperative. It is a social project and a catch basin for the socially disadvantaged or marginalized. Thus, one can also expect political statements here. On the back label as well as on the cork you can find "make wine not war" and "in ground we trust". Clear statements. Besides wine, they are also dedicated to the cultivation of vegetables and olives.

The Majulina comes from a 70-year-old vineyard in the middle of Lucca. Besides Sangiovese, the vineyard is also planted with Canaiolo, Ciliegiolo and Aleatico.

Color

Bright cherry red, violet reflections

Nose

An extremely floral and wild nose defines the Majulina of Calafata. A truly intensely fragrant wine. Ripe strawberry, wild cherries and red currants complement the multitude of violet and red flowers. Red pepper, a little juniper and sage add a breeze from the spice cabinet. Calafata succeeds in creating wines that make you smell them in the glass without any ambition. They directly trigger anticipation for the first sip and a great thirst. Wonderfully uncomplicated.

Palate

And it can seamlessly continue this feeling. This Cuvée is literally in the juice. What a fine structure. It is beautifully wrapped in silk. The pure fruit concentration flows straight as a die towards the palate. Without detours, without unnecessary coarse tannin or fruit sweetness it gets by. The tannins are wonderfully fine-grained and melt away. Light fruity, juicy, slim and .... empty is the glass.
