Le Casematte is a Sicilian winery which borns in 2008. It originated from the willing of Gianfranco Sabbatino, who is an accountant by profession and a winemaker by passion. Later Andrea Barzagni, who is an ex football player from Florence and for this reason he is also a passionate about wine, joins him in this project. The vineyards, that are located to up 500 meters above sea level in an area named Faro, overlook the Strait of Messina.

The modern and functional winery has recently been expanded, and it has also been equipped with a new barrel cellar for aging and with a comfortable and panoramic tasting room. The hilly lands where the terracing of our vineyards are located, extending up to about 500 meters above sea level, are exposed to the north and overlook the sea. The winds coming from the Ionian and the Tyrrhenian Sea, that cross in the facing Strait of Messina, create a particular microclimate that greatly favors the temperature range between day and night, even in midsummer, so as not to thermally stress our vines during the delicate ripening phase.
