| Pietradolce | Etna Bianco DOC | 2017 | Wine Spectator | 31/10/2018 | 90 | ||||||
Verbiage“A minerally presence of stone and smoke drives flavors of crunchy white peach, chamomile, preserved lemon and beeswax. Well-cut, with a pleasing plumpness to the palate. Drink now through 2023.” -A.N., Wine Spectator, Oct. 31, 2018 |

| Jankara | Colli di Limbara Lu Nieddu IGT | 2015 | James Suckling | 22/10/2018 | 88 | ||||||
Verbiage“A very ripe and rather oaky red that is rather opulent, but manages to remain dry. However, the finish fades rather fast. Drink now.” – James Suckling, Oct. 22, 2018 |

| Le Casematte | Peloro Rosso Terre Siciliane IGT | 2016 | James Suckling | 22/10/2018 | 93 | ||||||
Verbiage“I love how this floats between fresh blueberries and spices and then riper elements of balsamic, leather, ash and cedar. Medium to full body, bright acidity and a well rounded core of red and blue fruit. Drink now.” – James Suckling, Oct. 22, 2018 |

| Le Casematte | Faro DOC | 2016 | James Suckling | 22/10/2018 | 93 | ||||||
Verbiage“This is really floral with lilacs, tulips, rose petals and then freshly cut herbs. Medium-to full-bodied, tight and composed. Fresh acidity drives this through to a crunchy, medium-chewy finish. A blend of nerello mascalese, nerello cappuccio, nocera and nero d’avola. Drink now.” – James Suckling, Oct. 22, 2018 |

Verbiage“Lots of fresh apple and lemon here. Sleek and refreshing on the palate with something mineral at the finish. Drink now.” – James Suckling, Oct. 22, 2018 |

| Le Casematte | Rosematte Nerello Mascalese IGP | 2017 | James Suckling | 22/10/2018 | 89 | ||||||
Verbiage“A generous, dry rose with plenty of nectarine and orange character, but on the palate this is a bit soft and heavy. Drink now.” – James Suckling, Oct. 22, 2018 |

| Matané | Negroamaro Puglia IGT | 2017 | James Suckling | 22/10/2018 | 89 | ||||||
Verbiage“The ripe, strawberry-cake character is really intense on the nose with undertones of figs. The palate is well carved out with some bright acidity. Drink now, if this is your thing.” – James Suckling, Oct. 22, 2018 |

| Matané | Primitivo di Manduria DOC | 2016 | James Suckling | 22/10/2018 | 89 | ||||||

| Matané | Primitivo Puglia IGT | 2017 | James Suckling | 22/10/2018 | 89 | ||||||
Verbiage“A ripe and rich primitivo with dried blackcurrants, dried brambleberries and lots of elderberries. Full body, some good chewy tannins and a fruit-forward finish. Drink now.” – James Suckling, Oct. 22, 2018 |

| Pietradolce | Archineri Etna Bianco DOC | 2017 | James Suckling | 22/10/2018 | 93 | ||||||
Verbiage“Quite a subtle Etna white, and all the more appealing because of that. The nose suggest white stones, blossoms, lime and freshly squeezed lemons. The palate shows real focus and intensity, which isn’t that common in 2017. Medium to full body, bright acidity and a medium-long finish. 100% carricante. Drink now.” – James Suckling, Oct. 22, 2018 |
