A full-bodied red of great elegance, obtained from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d'Avola, Tannat and a small percentage of other grape varieties. It is aged in barriques for 13, 14 months and for the same period rests in bottle. Intense ruby color, the nose gives hints of ripe red fruit and balsamic herbs. In the mouth it is soft, enveloping and balanced, with structured tannins. A wine of great power and taste persistence. It is excellent with dishes with complex flavors, red meats in general, truffled mushrooms, roast pork and aged cheeses. 14% alcohol. Serving temperature 18°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.
