CALCATELLI

Calcatelli has a Marchese lineage, in Arcevia nell'anconetano, and one in the Roman in Rome, Velletri and Ciampino, the Roman lineage could be of Molise origin and derive from the name of the locality Calcatello on Monte Caraceno di Pietrabbondante nell'iserniese, how could it also derive from an ethnic form of the town of Calcata in the Viterbo area, which could also have given rise to the strain in the anconetan, a second hypothesis would suggest a derivation from the Latin verb calcare (trample, but also the pressing of grapes), in this case it would derive from a nickname attributable to a winemaker, perhaps the job of the founders.
