The largest Mediterranean island, separated from the Italian peninsula by the very narrow Messina strait, Sicily is probably among the richest regions in history, art and cultural heritage, a mosaic of colours and contrasts.<\/p>\n
According to legend, it was Dionysus (Bacchus) who brought pleasure to mankind, and wine to Sicily.<\/p>\n
In the past, Sicily was famous for its Marsala and cheap bulk wines. Over the last 30 years, however, Sicily\u2019s wine culture has changed dramatically and is now considered as one of the best regions.<\/p>\n
The Sicilian has the largest vineyard in all of Italy. It is three times the size of the vineyard in New Zealand, larger than vineyard in South Africa and equivalent to the vineyard in Germany.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6623″ img_size=”400×200″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
Founded in 1983 by Giacomo Rallo, Donnafugata represents the fourth generation of a family with a 160-year history of producing quality wines. Now, the fifth generation continues this legacy.<\/p>\n
The winery boasts 283 hectares in Contessa Entellina, nestled in the heart of western Sicily and 68 hectares on the island of Pantelleria, situated between Sicily and Africa.<\/p>\n
Since 2016, Donnafugata has expanded to eastern Sicily, producing wines across 18 hectares in Etna, and 36 hectares in Vittoria.<\/p>\n
The name Donnafugata, meaning ‘lady in flight,’ alludes to the tale of a queen who sought sanctuary in what are now the company’s vineyards, a narrative that also inspired the company’s logo.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Dolce & Gabbana and Donnafugata partnership crafted this “Tancredi” Limited Edition.<\/p>\n
With an intense ruby red color, Tancredi 2021 combines notes of ripe red fruit -black cherry and plums- followed by delicate spicy hints, cacao and sweet tobacco. On the palate it unfolds all its enveloping and plentiful personality with perfectly integrated tannins; it ends with a long and elegant persistence.<\/p>\n
“Sweet, ripe blackberries and dried figs open the nose, followed by chocolate and coffee, and finally pencil shavings and top soil. The palate stays juicy with berries, plums and figs, plus that sophisticated chocolate sweetness, but there is also more room for sanguine, meaty, earthy notes to introduce a strong umami current, which is fortified by chewy tannins.” – Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Grape:<\/b> Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d’Avola<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13725,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"yoast_head":"\n
