Rosso DOC - Faro - Le Casematte 2023

The Rosso DOC Faro by Le Casematte is an illustrious example of how Sicily, a land rich in winemaking history, can express red wines of great character and complexity. Located near the Strait of Messina, the Le Casematte winery is immersed in a unique landscape, where the volcanic terroir and the influence of the Mediterranean sea play a crucial role in defining the profile of its wines. The Faro appellation is one of the gems of the region, characterized by wines that reflect an incredible balance between power and elegance.

The Rosso DOC Faro by Le Casematte is the result of a careful blend of native vines, mainly Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, with the addition of other local varieties such as Nocera. These vines, grown on ancient terraces overlooking the sea, benefit from a unique microclimate which favors slow and complete ripening of the grapes, giving the wine a distinctive aromatic richness and freshness.

Winemaking aims to preserve the varietal characteristics and expression of the terroir. After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo a traditional fermentation, followed by aging in wood which harmonises the flavors and adds complexity to the wine without overpowering its fruity and floral identity.
