These wines are always a joy to drink, aromas of wild flowers, white peach and citrus fruit. In the mouth there is a juiciness to the fruit, peach and nectarine flesh, back notes of aromatic herbs and flowers and then a drive of citrus adds a delicious acid lift to the finish. L&S (Mar 2023)

Ripe green fruits, sour-fresh citrus on the palate, quite broad in the mouth. Impressive depth of fruit and a long nutty green-fruited finish. Drinking range: 2023 - 2025 Rating: 16.5 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Apr 2023)
Le Casematte
There can't be too many wine estates named after WWII gun emplacements, but the three concrete casemattes among the vines designed to protect the Strait of Messina have indeed inspired the name of Le Casematte - "a place where grapevines have supplanted death" they say on their web-site, probably quite profound. Le Casematte was founded in 2008 by former footballer Andrea Barzagli and accountant Gianfranco Sabbatino. The vines are in the north of Sicily, with vineyards rising to 500m above sea-level, and northerly exposures helping to mitigate the southern sun-shine. They are committed to organic farming.
