WANTED! ...Large Black Figs

I decided that I must grow a large, black fig to contrast with my, beloved "Atreano".  If  I could fid the equivalent of "Atreano", but only in a black fig, I would be a happy man!  You know....ebony and ivory....yin and yang.

Here's what I want:
Large size, MAIN-CROP  figs...dark, purple-black. 
Short season, easy ripening in zone 7b.  (important)
Closed/small/tight eye...not prone to splitting/souring  (important)
Ultimate tree size,  not important,...but, will be containerized. Vigorous grower.
A variety not usually infected with mosaic, like "Mission"  (important)

So friends...what varieties should I consider?  Suggestions, please. 
No B-T....Mission....Celeste...Fannick's, Malcom's..Patrick's Super Giants.

Thanks for the help.

I think Sal's Corleone looks like Atreano's "other". It is red though.

 Black Greek...mid august main crop.

Col de Dame-Black/Noire?

Thank-you for the suggestions.  Short, and sweet.  Any others????

Genovese Nero if you can find one. This is one of Adriano's BEST.
