From this winery
  • Start up year: 2008
  • Oenologist: Carlo Ferrini
  • Bottles produced: 40.000
  • Hectares: 11
The very young winery Le Casematte, is the crowning achievement of the dream of its founder Gianfranco Sabbatino, by now a prisoner of boundless love and passion for the fruits of the vine. The winery is located in the beautiful scenery of the Strait of Messina, in the village of Faro Superiore. It owes its name to the presence of two casemates, small forts used as shelters for sentries dating back to World War II placed in defence of the territory, which insist on the most significant plot of land cultivated with vines. The full extension of the vineyard of about 4 hectares is grown with varieties of Nerello Mascalese, Cappuccio, Nocera and Nero d'Avola in the percentages regulated by the Faro DOC specification. The Faro DOC is a very small DOC recognised in 1976, whose total extension is at most 30 hectares. The entire technical aspect is entrusted to the oenologist Fabrizio Zardini, originally from Cortina d'Ampezzo (Belluno, Veneto region) but who has been working with various Sicilian wineries for years.
