2018-Donnafugata-Digital-Brochure gambina Donnafugata is a ©fabio family business now at the 5th generation The name The name Donnafugata refers to the novel by Tomasi di Lampedusa entitled Il Gattopardo (The Leopard). A name that means “donna in fuga” (woman in flight) and refers to the story of a queen who found refuge in the part of Sicily where the company’s vineyards are located today. An adventure that inspired the corporate logo: the image of a woman’s head with windblown hair that dominates every bottle.

  • The Italian Wine Sector
    The Italian Wine Sector 28 Feb 2017 The Italian wine sector is the world’s largest wine producer and its second largest exporter by volume behind Spain. This paper gives an overview of wine production, consumption, imports and exports for the Italian wine sector and how these compare with Australia. Production Italy produces the most wine of any country in the world. The OIV estimated that while Italian wine production fell by 1.2 per cent in 2016 to 4.9 billion litres this still placed Italy ahead of France (4.2 billion litres) and Spain (3.8 billion litres In comparison, Australian wine production is one quarter of Italy’s (1.2 billion litres). Between 2001 and 2015, Italian wine production averaged 4.7 billion litres, reaching a peak of 5.4 billion litres in 2006. Italian wines are categorised by their official quality level designation. The highest quality level in Italy is Denominazione d’Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG), of which there are currently 74. The second level is Denominazione d’Origine Controllata (DOC). There are 334 DOCs. European Union (EU) law allows Italian producers to continue to use these terms, but the EU officially considers both to be at the same level of Protected Designation of Origin or PDO –known in Italy as Denominazione d’Origine Protetta (DOP). Therefore, the DOP list contains all 408 DOCs and DOCGs together. The quality level below this, which has less stringent requirements and therefore gives producers more flexibility on how they make their wines, is called Indicazione Geografica Protetta (IGP) – or Protected Geographic Indication in English.

They are meant to be enjoyed with food, with us here at Alter.

  • Sicilian Wine Industry Fell Into Boom and Bust Cycles
    Vini di Sicilia Some History Sicily is Italy's southernmost region, and the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. For more than 2500 years Sicily (Sicilia in Italian) has been a significant center of Mediterranean viniculture, although the reputation and style of its wines has changed significantly over that time. The island's location has helped it become one of the world's most diverse melting pots. At one time or another, it was inhabited by the Siculians (after which it was named), Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Germans and the Spanish. All of these cultures contributed to Sicily's history and influenced the production of wine throughout the region -- though not all of their influences were positive. Wine grapes have always grown on the Italian island of Sicily. The ancient island was covered in grapevines long before the Greeks got there. Ancient civilizations were producing wine on the island as far back as the 17th century BC. Many of the grapes considered to be native to the area were actually brought in by the Phoenicians. The Mediterranean climate with abundant sunshine, balanced rainfall, hilly terrain and soils made rich by Mount Etna’s ash all create the perfect conditions for quality agriculture. The Greeks arrived sometime around 8 BC, bringing other varietals in with them. They also brought innovations such as pruning, varietal selection and low vine training. Large quantities of wine began to flow all over the island. Very, very alcoholic wine. For several centuries, the Sicilian wine industry fell into boom and bust cycles. As the Romans spread their empire, they carried wines from Sicily with them.

Grillo, one of the most important white cultivars in Sicily, was ascertained to be an offspring of Catarratto Comune and Zibibbo, the same parents which Mendola claimed he used to obtain Moscato Cerletti. Thus the hypothesis of synonymy between Moscato Cerletti and Grillo or the same parentage for both sets of parents needs to be verified.

  • “A New Generation Who Has Come Back to Agriculture”
    “A new generation who has come back to agriculture” The company is called Judeka , was founded in 2007, in honour of a Sicilian contrada (a country road) that is particularly suited for wine. When we didn’t have the vineyard, we bought grapes in Contrada About Judeca. It is a young project created by young people: Valentina Nicodemo, Cesare Nicodemo. We are not from families of winemakers, we haven’t inherited anything. We are the first generation, so Us there isn’t any long history prove but instead we wish to show our love and hope. Presenting the world a just and wonderful Sicily. We strongly wanted to create a sustainable agricultural project that would give hope to young people. Providing confidence in the possibility of investing and staying in one’s own land. “Our passion is to take care of the vineyards and products coming from our land with commitment and sacrifice.” Autori di Emozioni We are in central Sicily, in Caltagirone, just a few km from two important nature reserves: the reserve of Santo Pietroe and the Sughereta di Niscemi, famous for its countless butterflies, and is also where part of the corks we use come from. In 2002 UNESCO awarded the historic centre the title of World Territory Heritage Site. Judeka stands in a magical place: along the ancient Wine Route, on the country road of San Mauro, home to a Greek-Sicilian town founded in the 4th century BC by settlers from Gela. The Greeks probably came across the then navigable rivers that line the vineyards.

    Wine from Women Winemakers • Historically, winemaking was a man’s job, often tied to religious bodies/orders • Is there any fundamental “signature” difference in female-made wine? • What unique challenges or opportunities do women winemakers face? 1) Marie Courtin Résonance Blanc de Noirs Extra Brut NV – Aube, France • The Aube is closer to Chablis than to the heart of Champagne in Reims; it has the same Kimmeridgian limestone as Chablis • Dominique Moreau took over a little plot of mostly Pinot Noir vines in the Aube district in 2001; started her Marie Courtin label (named for her grandmother) in 2005 • Dominique’s winemaking is a little different than what’s traditionally been “typical” in Champagne: she makes single vineyard, single varietal, single vintage wine from biodynamically farmed vineyards; uses no commercial yeasts and no dosage • Résonance is from all hand-harvested Pinot Noir fermented in stainless steel; it’s named for the balancing effects of earth and sky that affect wine’s terroir 1) Pewsey Vale Dry Riesling ’12 – Eden Valley, Australia • Eden Valley is a region in South Australia, famous for its Riesling, which is dry and generally very minerally • Pewsey Vale vineyards were first planted in 1847 by an Englishman; 115 years later this area became the center of Australia’s Riesling renaissance • Winemaker is Louisa Rose, who also works for Aussie wineries Yalumba and Hill- Smith; she grew up working on her family’s vineyard in the Yarra Valley and studied theoretical physics before taking on winemaking • Her winemaking
