Calo' Michele & Figli Sas

Michele Calò Winery is located in the heart of Salento (Apulia), a land known for its red soils, Mediterranean climate, and centuries-old winemaking tradition. For over 2,000 years, vines have been cultivated here using the traditional Alberello Pugliese (bush vine) system, which allows grapes to fully express the unique character of the territory.

The winery stands out for its commitment to enhancing local heritage and producing high-quality wines deeply connected to the land. Founded on the vision of Michele Calò, the estate has grown from a local reality into an internationally recognized producer, bringing the essence of Salento to markets around the world.

Today, the winery is managed by Fernando and Giovanni Calò, who continue the family legacy with passion while embracing innovation. Their approach combines respect for tradition with modern viticultural practices, ensuring continuous improvement and the ability to meet the expectations of contemporary wine lovers.

Michele Calò wines are rooted in the native grape varieties of Salento, which form the backbone of the production:

Negroamaro

Malvasia Nera

Primitivo

Verdeca

These historic varieties are carefully cultivated to produce wines that are intense, elegant, and expressive, fully reflecting the aromas, colors, and flavors of the territory.

The winemaking philosophy is based on:

- Respect for nature and traditional practices
- Continuous care in both vineyard and cellar throughout the year
- A balance between heritage and innovation

The result is a range of wines with strong personality and emotional depth, capable of conveying the richness and authenticity of Salento while appealing to modern, quality-driven palates.
