Fataman - Gian Antonio Posocco - Az. Agr. Terre Grosse

Fataman - Gian Antonio Posocco - Az. Agr. Terre Grosse

A wine that reflects the character of the terroir and the artisanal care dedicated to every single bunch of grapes. Gian Antonio Posocco’s Fataman is crafted from Souvignier Gris grapes grown on soils rich in debris, clay, and compacted sediments—terrain shaped over time by the force of an ancient glacier. Harvesting is done strictly by hand, with every cluster selected and tended to with meticulous care. A portion of the grapes is pressed by hand on a wooden rack, following a slow, traditional process that preserves the fruit's integrity and contributes to the wine's distinctive expressive character. It is a still wine that has undergone brief skin contact, distinguished by a pleasant roundness and an aromatic complexity that evolves in the glass. Delicate notes of white flowers and citrus emerge on the nose; with aeration, richer, more enveloping scents of ripe, fleshy tropical fruit unfold, accompanied by hints of Golden Delicious apple, hay, and balsamic herbs such as thyme. An authentic wine deeply rooted in its territory, it harmoniously blends freshness, structure, and aromatic depth, expressing in every sip the patient work of the winemaker and the power of the landscape from which it originates.

Cellar: Gian Antonio Posocco - Az. Agr. Terre Grosse

Gian Antonio Posocco, after graduating in oenology in 1977, began working at some cooperative wineries in the area, but he soon realized that that world was not for him. He enrolls in letters with a philosophical address, where according to his words he enjoys himself very much. In the following years he marries, and he has land as a dowry where he begins to try the biodynamics he was studying at the anthroposophical center of Conegliano Veneto. In 1992 he founded an organic agricultural cooperative with people of various nationalities in the Tarzo area which he left in 1997 to join Ecor, now Ecor Naturasi, where the idea of ​​proposing wine from organic farming matured. In 2001 he founded Assiria Vini Bio with about twenty companies from all over Italy, which later became Assiria Vini Naturali. In 2015 he managed to realize his dream of producing "his" prosecco with the collaboration of Gabriele Perenzin. For two years they produce it in a cellar in Valdobbiadene, but they are not satisfied with the result, in 2018 they produce the first Vincolfondo. Having problems making a cellar as requested by the authorities, he relies on the Terre Grosse winery, with which he shares a lot both on a theoretical and practical level, so much so that in 2021 they made their first wine together, putting their grapes together. Gian Antonio has a 40/50 year old vineyard in the Montaner di Sarmede area in a hilly area close to the Pre-Alps, and 2 small young vineyards of Sauvigner gris, a resistant vine, and one of Merlot on loan. The wines produced are Vincolfondo, Fataman bianco, Fermo glera, in the right years a Risso di Merlot, a Sauvigner gris and a Vincolfondo with red grapes di Terre Grosse grapes. The latter in honor of the Raboso which in Venice was called Vin da Viajo, travel wine, because it was the only one that resisted on journeys by ship.
