Fragrant nose of peaches, melon, papayas and chamomile. It’s medium-bodied, fleshy and fruity, with excellent freshness. Drink now. Rating: 91 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Sept 2024)
The 2023 Bianco Peloro is sweetly floral, with notes of fresh apricot and nectarine complemented by a whiff of chamomile. Soft in texture, ripe orchard fruits and a reverberation of zesty acidity provide balance. The 2023 leaves behind an echo of tropical citrus and exotic florals. Drinking range: 2024 - 2026 Rating: 89 Eric Guido, www.vinous.com (Jun 2024)
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.
