Descrizione

One of the pearls of the Donnafugata house, where even the label, of which we can always say a masterpiece, is a hymn to value and shine.

Produced in purity from Chardonnay grapes, which are aged for 8 months on the noble lees, partly in small oak tanks and partly in cement tanks. The result is a bright and intense straw yellow.

Typical aromas of Chardonnay, but with a much higher intensity. From yellow flowers to yellow-fleshed fruits, to then move on to the more complex notes of hazelnut and almond on the finish thanks to the refinement. On the palate, on the other hand, a savory and mineral texture with a long persistence full of spicy nuances.

Winery history

Donnafugata began as an entrepreneurial project of the Rallo family, led by Giacomo and Gabriella Rallo. The modern company grew out of the family’s historical roots in the province of Marsala. Since its founding the brand has expanded its presence across several Sicilian territories and is now led by the next generation. Over the years the company has complemented its traditional production with sustainability initiatives, experimentation with indigenous grape varieties, and cultural projects connected to art and music.

Production philosophy

Enhancing biodiversity and Sicily's indigenous grape varieties, combining respect for the land with sustainable practices. Donnafugata focuses on carefully crafted, sometimes niche wines rooted in distinct territories, with a strong connection to the arts and cultural initiatives such as Donnafugata Music & Wine.

Terroir and vineyards

Production is spread across several estates in Sicily: Contessa Entellina, the volcanic island of Pantelleria, the Vittoria district, the slopes of Etna and the historic cellars of Marsala. Each area is employed to express different grape varieties and styles, from Pantelleria’s passito wines to the reds of Vittoria and Etna.

Awards and recognitions

Donnafugata's iconic wines, particularly the Passito di Pantelleria Ben Ryé, have received accolades and high ratings from Italian and international guides and publications, including Gambero Rosso, DoctorWine, Veronelli, and other international reviewers cited by the company.
