The name The name Donnafugata refers to the novel by Toma- si di Lampedusa entitled Il Gattopardo (The Leopard). A name that means “donna in fuga” (woman in flight) and that 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: a face of a woman with windblown hair, a face that is also that of Gabriella Rallo the "don- na-fugata" (woman in flight). Craftsmanship gambina ©fabio Donnafugata wines are created from the search for the best combination of vine variety and terroir, an extreme attention to detail and the love for quality and the beautiful. ©fabiogambina Sustainable agriculture Donnafugata produces its grapes respecting nature. In the vineyard it does not use herbicides and chemical fertilizers and minimizes the use of phytopharmaceuti- cals. It rationalizes the use of resources such as soil, wa- ter, air and energy, with the use of green manure, organic fertilization, cluster thinning and emergency irrigation. The winery, for the safe- guarding of biodiversity, has created two experimental fields, in Contessa Entellina and Pantelleria, aimed at the enhancement of au- tochthonous varieties, some of which “relic” (at risk of extinction). Clean energy and landscape protection gambina ©fabio On the path to sustainability, the winery is committed to the production of clean energy through photovoltaic systems and energy saving, performing, for example, the night harvest. Since 2011 Donnafugata has calculated its CO2 emissions throughout the entire production cycle and has already reduced its Carboon Footprint by 10%. On Pantelleria it maintains 40 km of dry stone walls and the Giardino Pantesco donated to FAI. visit.donnafugata.it gambina ©fabio Guided tours, professional tastings and refined pairings with specialties of the Mediterranean cuisine.

Castello di Casole, a boutique hotel that had only been open for three weeks, is the centrepiece of a sprawling 4,200-acre estate with a number of restored properties. It also boasts an award-winning game reserve, which was of particular interest as, with the Mugello F1 racetrack and Montalcino's vineyards nearby, it helped make C di C a perfect base for the boar-hunting, Ferrari-driving, Brunello-guzzling fantasy tour I was researching for a client. On arrival, I was immediately given a large glass of prosecco and the Wi-Fi code (always great to see a hotel in tune with a writer’s priorities).

  • 50% Vermentino, 40% Viognier, 10% Ansonica the 2015 Vintage Was
    VIVIA Cateogory Maremma Toscana DOC (controlled appellation) Vintage 2015 Blend 50% Vermentino, 40% Viognier, 10% Ansonica Climate The 2015 vintage was characterized by a winter with abundant precipitation which assisted in creating important reserves of rainwater in the ground; a mild spring was followed by a warm and dry summer with temperatures above seasonal averages. Rains and a lowering of temperatures during the second half of August re-created optimal conditions for the vines. There were no problems of healthy development, and the vineyard continued to ripen the grapes in an excellent fashion, accumulating the typical aromatic substances of the different grapes varieties. Fermentation and Aging The varieties were fermented separately, and a small percentage of Viognier and Ansonica were harvested late in order to give the wine notes of warmth and ripeness. The grapes, at the moment of their arrival in the cellars, were given a soft pressing and the must chilled to a constant temperature of 50° Fahrenheit (10° centigrade) for 24 hours in order to favor a natural static settling of the impurities. The clean must went into stainless steel fermenting tanks, where it fermented at a temperature of 61° Fahrenheit (16° centigrade). A brief three month aging period in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees preceded bottling. Alcohol: 12.5% Historical data The Le Mortelle estate was once part of a larger property which already appeared on the maps of Tuscan Grand Duke Leopold II in the mid-19th century. The estate is located in the province of Grosseto, in the heart of the lower Maremma, approximately 5.5 miles from the town of Castiglione della Pescaia.

  • Grape Variety: Nero D’Avola; Nocera; Nerello Mascalese
    In the Sicilian dialect “Nica” means small. “Vigna nica” is a small winery that produces organic wine with great passion and hard work. We planted the first vineyard of 2 Hectare (23919.8 square yards) expanding year after year to 5 hectares (59799.5 square yards). Our vineyards are located in Messina District overlooking the Aeolian Islands. We are part of The Mamertino D.O.C. area, (D.O.C. mean Denominazione di Origine Controllata, refer to government guarantees of the wines’ origins). This type of D.O.C. has a long history and was one of the favourite of the Roman emperor Giulio Cesare. The wines are handcrafted and produced with organic and biodynamic methods, this because we love to experiment while we are learning and better understanding our land always keeping in mind the respect of nature. Our wines are artisanal products that means each vintage will never be the same of the previous one because every plant and every year is different … and this is exactly what makes our cellar unique.

  • Wine and Spirits / Wines You Can't Refuse
    Wine and Spirits / Wines you can't refuse Not striving to produce huge wines that are overloaded with oak and tannins gives the winery the freedom to produce wines that some will describe as "feminine" - that is to say, round, soft, well structured but not at all aggressive. By Daniel Rogov The families of Giacomo and Gabriella Rallo are no strangers to the wines of Sicily, their links with the island going back 150 years. With historic cellars in the city of Marsala and vineyards in the heart of western Sicily at Contesse Entellina and on the island of Pantelleria, the modern-day wine history of the family started in 1983 with the opening of the Donnafugata winery. For their white wines the winery relies on indigenous varieties like Catarratto, Zibibbo and Ansonica Bianca (also known as Inzolia ), as well as classic varieties such as Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. For their reds, the indigenous variety most often found in the Donnafugata wines is Nero d'Avola; French varieties used include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. The combination makes for wines that are uniquely Sicilian in what might be termed a thoroughly modern yet old-world fashion. Not striving to produce huge wines that are overloaded with oak and tannins gives the winery the freedom to produce wines that some will describe as "feminine" - that is to say, round, soft, well structured but not at all aggressive. The Donnafugata Winery in Sicily: a history going back 150 years with the Italian island. Photo by: Haaretz In addition to providing interesting wines, the labels of Donnafugata have interesting stories to tell, some mythological, some historical and nearly all relating to women.

  • The Wine Picker Willian Hutchinson
    The wine picker Wine Picker Ecole du Champagne Maremma in pursuit of terroir 22 maggio 2015Wine ReportsBy Delphine Veissiere Home to the Etruscans, the Maremma is a vast area along the Tuscan coast that stretches from south of Livorno to south of Grosseto. In the southern part, it extends far inland to Scansano and Pitigliano. Broadly speaking, we can divide the Maremma into two distinct regions: North and South. In terms of red wine, the North is home to the “Super Tuscans,” wines that are made from international varieties, while the The wine picker Southern denominations are predominantly Sangiovese. On the other hand, Northern whites often include Vermentino as the core component of the blend in the denominations, and there are also single grape varietal wines allowed from other grapes. In the South, where Trebbiano Toscano, Ansonica, and Vermentino play important roles, there are two white-only denominations and a wider variety of white grapes permitted. Differences in altitude and exposure to the sea winds and its cooling effects create a multitude of microclimates, oftentimes within the same vineyard. Some vineyard areas are protected from the sea by the initial foothills and so have a more continental climate, with a greater diurnal temperature range. In fact, two wineries within 6km of each other in Suvereto have different climates: one is continental and the other is maritime. Soil types range from sand, clay, and stone, in the lower altitudes to calcaire, rocks, and sandstone in the higher altitudes, especially around Scansano, where vineyards are planted up to 500m above sea level.
