...and WOW!
I should preface the following review with some disclaimers:
First, I named this fig for purposes of temporary identification.
I named it after a local gentleman who got it from his father. This variety came to the U.S. several decades ago, from Pratola Peligna, Abruzzo (Italy).
Second, I've tasted between 15 and 20 varieties of figs in the last few years. I'm not an expert or connoisseur, by any stretch of the imagination.

I've posted about this variety before, and I've done a good amount of research, but I've been unsuccessful at a positive ID so far.
A couple of root suckers were given to me in a trade for some rooted cuttings last year. Attilio generously gifted me some more this year to pass on to BigBadBill's family members.
I have one plant awaiting delivery to Bob Harper, and Newnandawg has successfully rooted it this year.
A couple of other members have received cuttings of (unk) Attilio Purple.

Last year, this variety showed clean leaves and prolific growth.
It ran out of time, and fruit did not ripen before the cold weather set in.
This year, this fig takes the distinction of being the first main crop fig to ripen, of my 30+ varieties of fruiting age.
This fig is small to medium. 3 of 4 plants formed fig embryos before June 1st, even though the shuffle started well into May for me. Only Conadria (Almost Eden) main crop formed earlier than these, this year.
I was convinced I would have to visit Attilio to taste this variety. Not so, though I may still want to visit him.
Three days ago I noticed the first fig turning color. I believe it was two or three days into it already.
Today I picked it, my son was very anxious! There are another 4 fruits in the process of ripening right now, so I was anxious to try it too.

This fig was very sweet, and sticky / jammy.
The skin was thin and pleasant. Not chewy at all. If I'd thought of it, I bet I would be able to peel it from the fruit.
It didn't have a "figgy" taste, like VdB, but it was very rich.
The taste lingered for a bit, in a light (not overpowering) way.
Definitely a keeper.

Will post more when the others ripen.
Yay!

Looks like a winner

Looks great and wonderful description, thanks for sharing!

Nice looking fig....great description

Awesome story Rui. Hope you are well my friend

Beautiful fig, Rui. I am sure my in-laws will be so pleased when they get fruit. Thanks, again for this interesting variety.

Goss, I can't wait to try some more. I'll eat one with my eyes closed, to try to pinpoint the flavor.
Phil, thank you, just one more to complicate your decision ;)
Deerhunter, can't wait for you to try this one.
Coop, let me know when it's time for this one to go to Jersey. It was great finally meeting you at the gathering.
I think Lebmark took one of these home with him.
I know Bass kept the Attilio Green.
Maybe I'll start a bunch for next year's fig gathering, I'm helping Attilio prune his mother plant this Fall.
Bill, the ones I gave away at the gathering were meant for you, so know I'm keeping you in mind.

Nice to see what I missed out on Rui! I lost all of the Attilio Green and Purple you sent me. They rooted strong and were well on there way until the dog found my fig stash!  Glad to hear its a winner for you. You deserve it! Hows that baby doing?

Nice story nice fig Rui. What can you tell us about Attilio Green?

Rui, thanks for posting some history of this fig. Thanks again for providing the cuttings. The pics look really nice and
your taste profile makes me want to taste it now. I believe mine will fruit next year. It is a vigorous grower and the tree
looks disease free. The Attilio Green is also growing well. All of the cuttings you sent rooted real easy. I passed out all
of them but one of each. I can always get another from someone I gave them to. I just dont have the room to keep back ups for all my trees.

Rob! Aha! I knew you could make room for more ;)
It was a shame that the dog got them, I remember well.
I'll put you on the list for this Winter, the Attilio Green may come to you with roots, as I have a lot of root suckers on my plant.

Rafael, did the Marcus CM 3 and Fico Rubado Verde Passo I got at Bass's come from you?
I've researched, and found that the Marcus is a green fig originally from GTO's wife's Grandfather, and it's a green fig, but I'm not having much luck with the Rubado.
I think both of these came from the same person, they both were labeled with orange marking tape.
Maybe they came from Vito, or Ed.
Anyway, the Attilio Green is also from Pratola Peligna.
I won't have fruit from it this year either, but I posted a photo (taken by Attilio) of the fruit.
This is a much slower growing variety. It does produce a plentiful breba crop, I witnessed this last spring when I first visited Attilio.
Both the Green and Purple suffered severe dieback this past Winter. Attilio confessed he had a feeling he wasn't wrapping his in ground plants well enough.
The leaves on the Green have a shape similar to BT, and the fruit (described by Attilio's wife Lori) is very large.

Mike, I'm hopeful your more experienced, discerning taste buds will put a number to this one.
Your (and Art's) taste scales are an awesome reference tool for all of us.
Maybe I can send this variety to Art too. I read he's looking to move some new varieties in, and some old ones out.

I feel a little weird about naming these varieties myself, and my hope is to ID them for Attilio.
In my searching and viewing I came up with a couple of possible relatives.
Maybe consensus can be reached on names, if members feel my naming is unsuitable.
Maybe UPPP1 and UPPG1, for Unknown Pratola Peligna Purple, and Green.

Rui

The two plants you mentioned did not come from me, I don't think they are from Ed either. That is interesting that an unprotected plant in Rhode Island, with this past winter, and despite substantial dieback, still produced a plentiful breba crop.

Rui, Looks like a promising variety. Glad to hear you liked it.
As far as naming goes. I think Attilio is a good name. Just use Unk. before or after it. There has been some big fights over naming. Then if someone can ID it, you can change the name. If not, then your name will stick. Good luck!

Rafael, sorry, but the breba were from last year. This year the inground tree was down to a couple of 2" tall sprouts.
The mother trees are still within the border of CT, about 30 minutes from me.
I'll be pulling up some root suckers from my inground tree, for backups and for sharing.
Next Spring I'll be grounding a Purple.
Including photos of the Green. The last shot is not mine, it will be another year (at least) before I try this one.

Art, thank you for the advice on the naming, I know exactly what you mean, and have enough drama in my life :)
Let me know when you've made room to try out a couple of new varieties.

When does an unknown finally become a known? When you have exhausted all possibilities of a match to a given known? A year, 2 years, 5 years, ??? In other words, when can it be named? All figs were unknowns at one time until they were given a name. I am serious, should there be a systemic method of naming. Now, I agree with all new finds being labeled with an unk, but at sometime, and I do not know when, a name should be awarded. Just my opinion, or something to think about.

Package received, Rui.   Thanks for making these available, and your efforts distributing them.  I'll keep you posted on how they progress.

Rui, sorry if I skipped over this info somewhere in the thread, but would you say Unk Attilio Purple is a Mt. Etna type fig?

Rui,

   Reading your description here has made me even more excited than knowing the figs came from the same region as my predecessors. Thanks!

Calvin, I don't know enough about figs in general to answer that question confidently, but if you're interested in some trials I'll send you a batch of cuttings.
Sending PM soon.

Dale, I can't wait to see how this variety does in different growing conditions. I'm looking forward to next year's results.
My pleasure to be able to share.
