DONNAFUGATA S.r.l. Società Agricola
With a label like that, it is difficult for this bottle to go unnoticed. After all, the style is that of the D&G brand. Cuordilava, in fact, is the result of a collaboration between Dolce&Gabbana and Donnafugata. An elegant red, with a volcanic personality! Etna Rosso Doc, this Sicilian caliente comes from a pure processing of Nerello Mascalese grapes from the northern slope of Etna. Matured for more than a year in French oak barrels and then for at least 30 months in the bottle, this Etnean red wine in the glass has a beautiful ruby red colour, with a bouquet of small red fruits, plums and orange peel accompanied by spicy notes of cinnamon that blend with fresh floral hints of lavender, balsamic and undergrowth. In the mouth it is broad and deep, characterised by well-integrated tannins and elegant minerality. The finish ensures a long persistence and enhances its extraordinary personality.
There are wineries about which every good wine lover thinks he knows everything. Simply because they have always represented the world of Italian wine. Among these, there is no doubt that a special place is occupied by Donnafugata. A winery that for many is synonymous with Sicily and quality wine. A historic brand owned by the Rallo family, Donnafugata produces wines in different areas of Sicily. From East to West, from Trapani to Etna, there is no wine-producing area in Sicily where Donnafugata does not have a vineyard. What few people know, however, is that the name Donnafugata is due to Gabriella Rallo, wife of the founder and mother of the two enterprising current managers of the company. Gabriella Anca Rallo, a courageous woman with a penchant for innovation, was a pioneer of quality viticulture in Sicily. She is the true 'donnafugata' (woman on the run) who abandoned her job as a teacher to take full-time care of the Contessa Entellina vineyards. One of the first women in Sicily to produce wine, in a sector typically dominated by men. A true pioneer of quality female viticulture. All that remains, therefore, is to say thank you to Gabriella. For being so courageous and for inspiring all this. Cheers!
