| Pietradolce | Contrada Santo Spirito Etna Rosso DOC | 2016 | Wine Spectator | 31/10/2018 | 92 | ||||||
Verbiage“Compact and muscular, lithe and graceful, set in a medium-bodied frame, with lovely spice, floral and herb accents to the flavors of cherry and mineral. Lightly chalky tannins firm the mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2026.” -A.N., Wine Spectator, Oct. 31, 2018 |

| Pietradolce | Sant’Andrea Bianco IGT | 2015 | Wine Spectator | 31/10/2018 | 92 | ||||||
Verbiage“A seamless, light- to medium-bodied white, with a textural hint of light, fine-grained tannins and a firm backbone of acidity, layered with a delicate flavor range of crushed almond, fleur de sel and baked nectarine, accented by hints of verbena, smoke and graphite. Carricante. Drink now through 2027. ” -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 |

| 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 |
