Azienda Agricola Petrera Pasquale has been making wine in the Gioia del Colle region of Puglia since the late 1800's, though it wasn't until 1987 the family began bottling their estate wine, Fatalone. The Pasquales make four wines: three different Primitivos and one Greco. Their vineyards are farmed organically (certified) while also utilizing biodynamic practices. All wines are fermented in stainless steel, and if oak is used during the elevage, it is always large, old barrels of Slavonian oak, often with calm music as an accompaniment. Sulfur is only used at bottling to stabilize the wine, which allows for maximum expression of terroir: purity of fruit, elegance and transparency. The Fatalone wines are the most expressive and refined in Puglia and are among some of Italy's finest red wines made today.

Fatalone’s Teres Primitivo is a unique and delicious light red wine that comes from only the free-run must of the Racemi — the fruit of the second budding of Primitivo — which yields juice that has a light-body character and delicate palate with lovely sweet and floral aromas. The whole berries are fermented with native yeasts, spend 36 hours with the skins, and then are aged for 6 months. Teres is a fresh, mineral driven red wine that is light in color and body. Aromas of strawberry, cranberry, raspberry and red currant plume from the glass. The palate is soft and light with a mineral driven freshness to complement subtle notes of balsam and spruce. A remarkably versatile wine to enjoy any time of year with pizza, fried foods, seafood appetizers or grilled vegetables.
