Winemaker speaking
"What do football and wine have to do with each other? At first glance, not much, but here, they are the two cornerstones of our culture. Love comes together at La Casematte. Along with my good friend Andrea Barzagli (former footballer), we manage the vineyards, where mainly native Sicilian grape varieties are planted. This small-scale project is named after the two casemates (military defense works) that are still on the property."
