Donnafugata grew out of the commitment of a family in Sicily that has always believed in the extraordinary enological potential of its land and has 150 years of experience in producing premium wines. Convinced that it is always necessary to be open to change in order to grow and improve, Giacomo Rallo and his wife, Gabriella, launched a new production project in 1983: Donnafugata. Their adventure took wing from the family’s historic cellars in Marsala and the vineyards at Contessa Entellina in the heart of western Sicily and soared as far as the island of Pantelleria. Their children, José and Antonio, joined them and the house accelerated its march along the path of Extreme Quality: a project that focused on attention to detail, which clears the way for entrepreneurial decisions that ever more advanced objectives. As for the future, the young Gabriella and Ferdinando are already being “fully immersed” in the family’s activities

Anthìlia is the name of a wine that is identified with the ancient territory where it originates and happens to be the first wine to have been conceived at Donnafugata. Made from 50% Ansonica and 50% Catarratto grapes, the wine is round and elegant with plenty of personality. Notes of ripe yellow peaches, plums and scents of Mediterranean flora, lead to a soft lingering finish.
