About this wine

Fatalone is the Petrera family estate in Gioia del Colle, Puglia, founded in the early 19th century and handed down through generations. Its vineyards lie on the limestone slopes of the Murgia hills and are farmed with organic and biodynamic practices; Primitivo is the estate's star.

This is a rare library release of the 1997 vintage, 100% Primitivo. Fermentation is spontaneous with native yeasts, with long skin contact of 240-300 hours and natural malolactic fermentation; the wine then ages six months in stainless steel and six months in Slavonian oak.

Intense ruby with violet hints, forest fruit, black cherry and plum with spicy and balsamic notes, and the toasted-almond finish typical of Gioia del Colle Primitivo.
