Description

A collaboration between two illustrious and ambassadors of Sicilian culture, resulting in a delicate and complex rosé wine

The estate

Founded in 1983, the name of the Donnafugata estate, "fleeing woman" in Italian, recalls the exile of Queen Maria Carolina of Naples at the home of a local prince, as Napoleon seized the city.
Giacomo Rallo, the founder of this estate in north-west Sicily, is the fourth generation of the family which, since 1851, has produced wine renowned for its great quality.
Spread across five different sites, the Donnafugata estate takes its individuality from its many various terroirs, which confer into each wine a unique style reflecting the richness of the Sicilian soil.

The vineyard

The Rosa Dolce&Gabbana Limited Edition 2021 by Donnafugata estate stems from the vineyards of the Contessa Entellina estate, located in the heart of western Sicily. The vineyards are located on the slopes of the Etna volcano, between Randazzo and Castiglione di Sicilia, at an altitude of 700-750 metres.

This Sicilian wine is made from two red grape varieties that epitomise Sicilian viticulture: Nerello Mascalese and Nocera. Cultivated on volcanic soils, Nerello Mascalese confers minerality and refined floral aromas. An old variety that was long-forgotten and then replanted on the hillside at the Donnafugata estate, the Nocera variety exudes a delicious fruity bouquet due to its natural acidity.

The wine

Rosa Dolce&Gabbana Limited Edition 2021 by the Donnafugata estate is an Italian wine, the fruit of the encounter between two iconic brands and global ambassadors, showcasing Sicilian culture and the excellence of "Made in Italy" thanks to their shared passion for their homeland.
Rosa, a cuvée whose feminine name underlines its unique character, offers a perfect symbiosis between creativity and know-how. Its design is based on the ancestral Sicilian cart, a local historical landmark, and pays tribute to the island’s craftsmanship, culture and tradition.

The vintage

A rainy winter preceded a particularly dry spring. Subsequently, the regular weather conditions and the rigorous agronomic practices put in place enabled the vegetative cycle to develop in a prosperous manner. The harvested grapes are perfectly healthy and ripe.

Vinification and ageing

The grapes are sorted manually on a vibrating table in order to keep only those that are perfectly intact and boast a very high quality. The grapes are destemmed, lightly crushed and then cold-macerated for 6 to 12 hours in order to extract the characteristic aromas and colour of this rosé. Fermentation is carried out in vats, as is the ageing process, once the blend has been finalised. An additional two months' ageing in vats and three months' bottle ageing is carried out before the rosé is put on the market.
