The Petrera family planted just eight hectares of Primitivo vines on the Spinomarino hill, around 40km inland from Bari, some 200 years ago. The Fatalone vineyards are certified organic and the estate is one of the very first wineries, not just of Puglia but of Italy as a whole, to be certified 100% sustainable and with zero carbon footprint.
Fatalone Primitivo Riserva 2017

Reverdito Barolo Ascheri 2016
$129.99
Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 4,000 bottles
Soil: Marl
Barolo produced here is best described as “warm-hearted”. Michele’s Barolo Ascheri comes from the classic chalky soils of La Morra about 250 meters up the steep hillside, inter-planted with several types of grasses and beans to aid biodiversity and soil structure. The resulting wine has an enticing nose of flowers, ripe strawberries and dark cherries, and a good mouthful of plummy ripe elegant fruit. This deceptively mid-weight Barolo has a ton to offer.
