Description

Etna Rosato. Etna is the most representative and famous volcano in Sicily. In this bottle we have an expression of it in the form of a volcanic eruption, to depict the power of this trilogy of wines, of which the Rosato Etna version is presented here.

Pale pink in colour, it is an explosion of smells and flavours, just as it is represented. Delicate floral hints of white rose and wisteria, accompanied by beautiful notes of pink grapefruit and plum. The production from Nerello Mascalese makes a wine of incredible excellence, with full-bodied flavours.

The palate is thus enveloped in the fullness of flavors and explode upon sip. The combination is among the most varied and simple with each dish.

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.
