Ca-tartrate (2,3-Dihydroxybutanedioic acid calcium salt, CaC4H4O6) is the Ca-salt of a diprotic acid. That is the IN-organic part of the story.

The ORganic part is the tartaric acid (2,3-Dihydroxybutanedioic acid, H2C4H4O6) of which it is formed eg. as a product 'defect' in grape wine making proces.

Structural formula: (COOH)-CHOH-CHOH-(COOH)
