Caldora “Yume Tre Autoctoni” 2025
A vibrant and characterful Southern Italian red blending three indigenous varieties. Fresh, fruit-driven, and smooth with a modern Mediterranean style.
Crafted from Montepulciano, Primitivo, and Nerello Mascalese, it combines the depth and structure of Abruzzo with the warmth and generosity of Puglia and Sicily.
The style is intensely flavoured and full-bodied, offering layers of ripe black cherry, plum, and spice with hints of cocoa, vanilla, and dried herbs. Velvety tannins and a long, smooth finish make it both powerful and approachable - a modern, opulent expression of Italy’s indigenous winemaking heritage.

2025A celebration of Italy’s native grape heritage, Yume Tre Autoctoni is crafted by Caldora, part of the renowned Fantini Group, whose philosophy is rooted in showcasing the authentic character of Southern Italy’s most expressive varietals. The name “Yume”, meaning “dream” in Japanese, reflects the winery’s vision of blending tradition, passion, and innovation to create a wine that captures the soul of Italy’s indigenous vineyards.
Sourced from carefully selected plots across Abruzzo, Puglia, and Sicily, this wine brings together three of the country’s great native grapes - Montepulciano, Primitivo, and Nerello Mascalese. Montepulciano lends structure and deep color; Primitivo contributes ripe, opulent fruit; and Nerello Mascalese adds aromatic lift and volcanic minerality. The result is a seamless union of Italy’s diverse terroirs, expressing both coastal warmth and mountainous freshness.
In the glass, Yume Tre Autoctoni reveals an intense ruby hue and seductive aromas of black cherry, plum, cocoa, and sweet spice. The palate is rich and enveloping, with velvety tannins and layers of dark fruit, chocolate, and toasted oak leading to a long, harmonious finish.
Full-bodied yet refined, this wine embodies the craftsmanship of Caldora - a producer dedicated to reviving and elevating Italy’s autochthonous grape varieties. Yume Tre Autoctoni stands as a modern icon of southern Italian winemaking: powerful, generous, and deeply evocative of its regional heritage.
