Donnafugata was established in Sicily by a family that, thanks to its passion, has been able to innovate the style and perception of Sicilian wine throughout the world.

Giacomo Rallo, the fourth generation of a family with over 170 years of experience in quality wine, founded Donnafugata in 1983 together with his wife Gabriella, a pioneer of viticulture in Sicily. Today, their children José and Antonio lead the company and a team of people focused on excellence.

An elegant woman, her face lit with a slight smile... how can we not help thinking of Mona Lisa or Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci and the many Italian portraits of women in the 1500s. A perfect balance of the elements, including, art, culture, nature. Compared with the very elegant original sketch, made on a wooden board, we just added a few touches of gold foil into the perlage, as beams of light that let us predict all the fine liveliness of its content.

Eye : a brilliant straw yellow color and a fine and persistent perlage.

Nose :  an intense bouquet with aromas of citrus fruits (cedar), green tea and pleasant gradations of bread crust.

Palate : fresh and vibrant, while showing a good structure and complexity. A harmonious and savory Brut with a strong personality.

Food & wine parirring : Pleasant for an aperitivo, excellent with finger food such as bottarga and basil bruschetta, tempura
vegetables or cured meats. It perfectly accompanies first courses of fish and shellfish, delicious with seared scallops
and fried fish.
