Description
In a nutshell:
A rich, warming and full bodied Primitivo from Puglia in the southern heel of Italy.
The lowdown:
Fatalone is a small passionate estate wth roots going back to the 19th century and who are committed to farming organically. This, their flagship wine has a pronounced and complex bouquet of plum, prune, fig, raisin, leather, tobacco and sweet spice. On the palate plush warmth flavours are packed with sweet, spicy fruit, with touches of toasted almond on the finish.
The Producer:
It was Nicola Petrera, an ancestor of the current owner Pasquale Petrera, who first started growing Primitivo grapes in the Gioia del Colle region of Puglia. However, it took several generations before they began bottling their own wine under the Fatalone label in 1987, and they haven't looked back since. Dedicated to organic farming, they only use grapes they grow themselves. In 2003, they opened a new state-of-the-art cellar carved into the rocks, blending ancient tradition with modern techniques and technology. This solar-powered cellar reflects Pasquale's commitment to sustainability. His passion for the quality of this part of Puglia shines through in his excellent wines.
When to drink:
Its warmth and balance alongside the richess make this well suited to lamb, particularly in north African styles. And with veggie recipes like roast aubergine parmigiana it's also a treat.
