Fatalone's Riserva has an incredible depth of flavour - dark cherry, plum, clove, cacao, roasted nuts and a pinch of balsamic. It has lovely density of fruit in the palate, with a long firm and fresh finish. Following a wild yeast ferment, the wine was aged for 12 months in stainless steel followed by 12 months in slavonian oak casks, and then 6 months in bottle before release.

Fatalone are based in Puglia, the heel of the boot of Italy, where this hot and dry climate is moderated by the ocean breeze. The estate has been certified organic for over 20 years and for over a decade has been producing wine 100% sustainably. This is achieved through organic farming and using solar power, as their most readily available renewable energy source is the warm, Southern Italian sun.
