We continue to celebrate! On Nov. 2nd, we held a second  (the first, in London) vertical tasting of our Fatalone Riserva in New York  City to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of our brand, Fatalone Organic Wines.  The event was held at Astor Center and was by invitation only.

The tasting panel included local and international press, sommeliers and trade.

Raw Wine 2018, 4-5th November in New York City

For the first time this year, we presented our Fatalone Organic Wines at Raw Wine 2018 in New York City.  RAW WINE brings together “over 140 of the world’s best low-intervention organic / biodynamic/natural wine growers.” We introduced all of Fatalone wines: Gioia del Colle DOC Primitivo Riserva, Gioia del Colle DOC Primitivo, Puglia IGT Primitivo “Teres” e il nostro vino bianco, Puglia IGT Greco “Spinomarino”.

To be a part of Raw Wine, our wines had to pass a strict selection process. Thankfully, Raw Wine Fair’s entry requirements are in complete agreement with our own philosophy of producing organic wines, using only our own hand-picked grapes, low levels of sulphites, spontaneous fermentation and sustainable practices without sacrificing quality and taste.

We were particularly proud to have been the only winery representing Puglia in this wonderful event.
