| Le Casematte | Peloro Bianco Sicilia DOC | 2017 | Wine Advocate | 31/12/2018 | 91 | ||||||
Verbiage“The 2017 Peloro Bianco is a fresh blend of 65% Grillo and 35% Carricante (with 15,000 bottles made). In essence, the wine offers a salty, mineral-driven bouquet with crushed oyster shell or beach stones. There is some fruit in the form of white peach and grapefruit, but it takes a background role. The lean mouthfeel is incredibly sharp and focused.” -Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Dec. 31, 2018 |

| Le Casematte | Peloro Rosso Terre Siciliane IGT | 2016 | Wine Advocate | 31/12/2018 | 89 | ||||||
Verbiage“Representing a 70-30 blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nocera, the 2016 Peloro Rosso is a charming wine with a lot of authentic character that you would never find in a wine made outside of the fabulous Mediterranean island and cultural crossroads that is Sicily. This is a tangy and raw wine that offers tension and energy to the palate. It ages in tonneaux for six months. Dark fruit aromas segue to olive, spice, ashy smoke and forest bramble. Some 15,000 bottles were made. You get great value here.” -Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Dec. 31, 2018 |

| Le Casematte | Primitivo di Manduria DOC | 2017 | Wine Advocate | 31/12/2018 | 90 | ||||||
Verbiage“The 2017 Nerello Mascalese Rosematte delivers absolutely everything you should expect of an informal rosé to drink with appetizers, finger foods or sushi. It opens to a light and luminous pink color and shows aromas of wild berry, cassis and briny mineral. The wine is lean in texture, crisp in acidity and almost salty in taste. Some 6,000 bottles were made, and you get excellent value here.” -Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Dec. 31, 2018 |

| Le Casematte | Faro DOC | 2016 | Wine Advocate | 31/12/2018 | 91 | ||||||
Verbiage“Le Casematte’s 2016 Faro represents a traditional blend of 55% Nerello Mascalese, 25% Nerello Cappuccio, 10% Nocera and 10% Nero d’Avola. These four grapes are radically different from one another yet they reach a place of impeccable balance in this wine. Both the Nerello Cappuccio and the Nocera add tangy aromas of crushed white pepper. The Nero d’Avola adds subtle tones of roasted fennel seed and green caper. Lastly, the Nerello Mascalese adds tar, smoke and dusty ash. Some 10,000 bottles were made.” -Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Dec. 31, 2018 |
