Donnafugata | Sicily



In Marsala, Marsala is made! At the Rallo family winery, however, it's a little different. Donnafugata, the name of the winery that goes back to the Bourbon queen Maria Carolina who took refuge in the Sicilian mountains in the last century, is best known for its dry, light white and red wines, while Marsala and the classic sweet wines of Pantelleria play second fiddle. With today over 300 hectares of vineyards, of which for a few years the lion's share is located at Contessa Entellina, in the center of the island, the Rallo have a good basis for the production of their own wines, although of course a good part must be purchased in the form of grapes or wine for a total quantity of 2.2 million bottles per year. Pressing, storage and bottling of the products are carried out in the facilities both in the two production areas themselves - they also have their own facilities on Pantelleria - and in the buildings of Marsala, which were built as early as 1851. As far as the qualities of production are concerned, the expansion in recent years has also been accompanied by an improvement in the wines, a development that has been reflected not least in the entry of the name Donnafugata into the Italian wine guides. - Gerardo [TS07/22]

"One after another year the wine landscape of Sicily produced almost three decades ago growths with abundant structure and alcohol. In 1983, Giacomo Rallo burst into this monotony with drops that were modern, well-made and pleasant to drink, ushering in a new oenological era on the island. To this day, the labels, in the production of which Giacomo's sons Josè and Antonio are now also involved, have lost not a whit of their initial elegance and accommodating nature." - Gambero Rosso

Donnafugata | Sicily | Buy at Gerardo

The name Donnafugata literally means 'woman on the run' and refers to the story of Maria Karolina of Austria, who fled in 1800 to the part of Sicily where the company's vineyards are now located. In reference to the story of Maria Karolina, the writer Giuseppe Tommasi di Lampedusa in his novel 'The Leopard' called the lands of the Prince of Salina Donnafugata. - Gerardo [TS09/22]

"Although the figure of Giacomo Rallo stands out like that of a giant, after his death the reins of the winery are already firmly in the hands of his sons Antonio and José, who have inherited from their father a strong entrepreneurial sense and from their mother Gabriela much love for their land. A modern and dynamic winery, straightforward wines, well made, the mirror of a Sicily that expresses history, culture and diversity." - Daniele Cernilli (Doctor Wine)

"The name Donnafugata ('woman on the run') recalls the story of a queen who found refuge in this part of Sicily, where the vineyards of the farm are now located. Behind the name is the Rallo family, whose business, headquartered in Marsala, is run by siblings José and Antonio. The vineyard area of 370 hectares is distributed in four growing areas: Contessa Entellina in the hinterland of Menfi in the west, Vittoria in the south, Mount Etna and the volcanic island of Pantelleria. With a variety of wines, all with artist labels, Donnafugata covers the entire range of varieties." - Falstaff
