2022 The Wine Advocate 94 Feb 2025 Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 94 Vintage 2022 The Wine Advocate In the bottle with the black label, the Le Casematte 2022 Faro (with 10,000 bottles created) is a blend of 55% Nerello Mascalese, 25% Nerello Cappuccio, 10% Nocera and 10% Nero d'Avola. These are alberello, or bush-trained, vines on clay limestone soils covering three hectares in this special appellation located in the northern tip of Sicily where sea currents and cross winds make for cool growing conditions. The wine is lean-bodied and punchy in personality with tart berry flavors, crushed flowers and orange essence. If you love lean and fresh red wines, this wine hits the mark.
