Ca’ Liptra
Between ancient traditions and experimentation. Ca'Liptra came about from the combined passion of 4 friends in 2012 with the aim of producing wines which let the terroir of Cupramontana shine - Little-talked-about but incredible terroir in the dramatic, high altitude Adriatic coast of the Marche.
Origins
The name Ca'Liptra comes from the part of the vine's flower which protects it until bud burst. This tiny project is all about the beauty and nature of the artisan, working naturally, with care and passion to produce hand crafted wines which you want to drink over and over again.
The estate
The estate is located in Cupramontana, one of the highest-quality villages in the Verdicchio dei Castelli di Jesi denomination, in Le Marche sitting at 505 meters above sea level. Today, Ca’Liptra has 2.5 hectares of vines, none younger than 31 years old, being influenced just as much by cool air coming off the Appennines as it is by the Adriatic coast; because of this, the wines are aromatically assertive and bright, without losing the inherent richness of Verdicchio - considered by many as Italy's great white wine grape which is found in the northern part of Le Marche.
Organic farming
At Ca’Liptra farming is organic (certification pending), and within that framework Ca’Liptra finds a lot of flexibility. They adapt their technique each year to suit the conditions. In the cellar, the main desire is to let the terroir of Cupramontana shine, so they approach matters with the same flexibility. Different vessels and approaches are used, depending on the wine and situation.
