Company symbol for Sicilian viticulture, Donnafugata has always been animated by a dynamic and expansive character, demonstrated by the continuous and passionate search for territories and realities to be enhanced. Four strategic points: Pantelleria, Contessa Entellina, Vittoria and Etna, from which a coach of expressions of very high quality and territorial value come to life, who integrate the soul of this land to perfection. To take it since 1983 there is the Rallo family, which through pioneering and courageous choices has been able to ferry it to date, transforming it into a successful company, famous throughout the world. In addition to the Universe Wine the company is very active on the art and culture front, promoting projects such as the exhibition entitled 'Chasing Donnafugata', held with the collaboration of the FAI at Villa Necchi Campiglio in Milan, in which through a multisensory path that embraces Art, music, wine and literature, are presented the splendid labels designed by the artist Stefano Vitale, who tell Sicily through the emblematic female figure inspired by the character of Donnafugata, mentioned in the novel of the Gattopardo of Giuseppe Tomasi. This edition of this edition is the 2016 Red Etna produced with grapes grown in the Cru in Contrada Montelaguardia, presented for the first time in this 2020 edition.
