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.   

The Fatalone Primitivo Riserva is made from 100% Primitivo grown in the Gioia del Colle DOC on rocky topsoils over clay/limestone. The grapes are fermented with native yeasts and aged for 12 months in stainless steel tanks, 12 months in Slavonian oak casks (with the application of music therapy) and 6 months in bottle. Deep ruby color with intense aromas of ripe blackberry and mulberry with notes of sour cherry, clove and bitter chocolate. The palate is dense and full-bodied though extremely well-balanced with soft yet powerful tannins and a persistent acidity that lead into a long finish with notes of toasted almonds. Enjoy with roast beef, grilled meats or aged cheeses.
