Donnafugata

Donnafugata was born in Sicily from the initiative of a family who with great passion was able to revolutionize the style and perception of Sicilian wine in the world. The name Donnafugata refers to Tomasi di Lampedusa's novel The Leopard. A name that means "woman on the run" and refers to the story of a queen who found refuge in that part of Sicily where the company vineyards are located today. A story that inspired the company logo: the image of a woman's head with hair in the wind that stands out on every bottle. The winery was born in the 1980s, when Giacomo Rallo decided to dedicate himself to his great passion: wine. His intuition, thanks also to the support of his wife Gabriella Anca, proved successful. Donnafugata produces wines of great value, excellences of Italian viticulture and a true typical expression of the territory. What the bottles of this winery have in common is the search for the best quality and continuity with the great winemaking tradition of Sicily and cultivation methods that respect the environment and biodiversity. Names such as " Ben Rye ", " One Thousand and One Nights ", " Chiarandà ", " Tancredi " are today considered a symbol, both in Italy and in the world, of prestige and excellence.
