Buy or order Donnafugata wine

Since 1983, Donnafugata wines have been produced on the beautiful, rugged island of Sicily. Since its founding, the wines have become a benchmark in Sicilian wine culture. The wines are of exceptional quality, and the current owners, Gabriella and Giacomo Rallo, know how to extract the best from each grape variety. In addition to local favorites like Catarratto, Nero d'Avola, and Grillo, they have also reserved a prominent place for international favorites like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Chardonnay.

The wines of Donnafugata from Italy

The name Donnafugata wasn't chosen entirely by chance. Neither were the names of the wines. It all has a very artistic ring to it. The common thread running through the winery is the well-known Italian novel Il Gattopardo (The Tiger Cat), by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa from 1958, which was adapted into a film in 1963. It's about an aristocratic family that falls into disrepair. Most of the novel takes place in Sicily, in the town of Donnafugata, not entirely coincidentally.

The finest wines from Donnafugata

All Donnafugata wines are named after characters from Il Gattopardo. For example, Donnafugata Tancredi, a perfect blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Nero d'Avola, is based on Tancredi Falconeri, the protagonist's nephew. Donnafugata Sedara, meanwhile, is based on the female protagonist, Angelica Sedara. With this wine, Donnafugata also demonstrates its ability to blend indigenous grapes (Nero d'Avola) with classic French grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot).
