Donnafugata tells us stories full of poetry. The heroes are the individual wines with their typical aromas, their extraordinary names and unique labels. But the protagonist is always Sicily: the grace, the liveliness and friendliness of the island that already fascinated Goethe. Each bottle of Donnafugata conveys this emotion, which is particularly tangible on the labels. The colorful images are designed by an artist who is a close friend of the family. They are the colors of the south... Strong and vivid colors like you can experience in the vegetable markets of Palermo. Imagine the sensation: In the 80s wine labels were black or brown throughout. And then along comes Donnafugata with these colorful labels! «We brought the colors to wine labels», says José with clear pride in her mother Gabriella's pioneering achievement. However, it is above all literature that is held in high regard by the family. For example, the name Donnafugata came about when Gabriella leafed through the famous Sicilian novel Il Gattopardo. Tancredi is also a character from this work: a nobleman who sides with the revolutionaries and ends up making it big. And what does this Tancredi taste like in wine form? He is a gentleman with the best manners and a complex character. A noble wine at a revolutionary price. No wonder, it is one of the most popular red wines from Sicily. The arts are not only a source of inspiration for the Rallos. The company contributes financially to promotional awards for literature, supports archaeological research and restorations of works of art in the region. Thus, Donnafugata is ultimately the story of a family that has enhanced an entire territory through its skills and passion. Wine lover Goethe would have been delighted.
