€17.50
A harmonious and pleasant red wine, the ultimate expression of Cerasuolo di Vittoria, made from a blend of Nero d'Avola and Frappato. Deep ruby red in color, with violet hues, it offers an intense bouquet on the nose, with fruity hints of black cherry and plum, floral and spicy notes of black pepper. On the palate it is fresh, soft and juicy, with fine, balanced tannins. It is excellent paired with richly flavored pasta dishes, grilled and roasted meats, porchetta pork, savory swordfish or amberjack dishes. Try it with eggplant parmigiana. Alcohol 13.5%. Serving temperature 15 - 16°C.
Donnafugata: a quote from Tomasi di Lampedusa's The Gattopardo, which recalls the story of a queen fleeing to the lands where the estate vineyards stand, inspired Giacomo Rallo and his wife Gabriella in 1983 to name the winery, which in a short time became a symbol of the new style of wine-making in Sicily. Both experts, Giacomo by DNA, Gabriella by passion, they still lead Donnafugata today, together with their children Jole and Antonio, with the goal of making artisanal viticulture of excellence, an expression of an authentic and sustainable Sicily, while respecting the environment: no to herbicides and chemical fertilizers, integrated pest management and rationalization of the use of natural resources. The same respect for nature and its fruits that we find in the winery, in the processing and winemaking techniques.
