Donnafugata Sherazade Nero D'Avola 2024

In 1983, the Rallo family founded Donnafugata to champion the potential of Sicily's indigenous varieties. In the decades since, their unwavering dedication to this founding principle has resulted in “some of Sicily’s top wines, if not all of Italy’s” (Eric Guido, Vinous). The family has made wine in Marsala since 1851, where their ancient cellars tunnel beneath the city. They were one of the first families to make high-quality table wine when sales of traditional Marsala started to decline. Today, Donnafugata has five estates in Sicily: the historic Rallo family cellars in Marsala, a modern winery and 330 hectares at Contessa Entellina in the hills east of Marsala, 33 hectares in the Vittoria DOC, in Acate, towards the south-eastern point of the island, 56 hectares on the island of Pantelleria, in the Khamma district, and 33 hectares on the northern slopes of Etna in Randazzo.
