Donnafugata Dolce & Gabbana Rosa Rosato Sicilia

About This Wine

The Donnafugata Dolce & Gabbana Rosa Rosato Sicilia is a collaboration between the renowned Sicilian winery Donnafugata and the iconic fashion house Dolce & Gabbana, resulting in an elegant and stylish rosé wine.

The wine is an aromatic delight, bursting with flavors of luscious honeydew, juicy white peach, vibrant strawberry compote, and zesty pink grapefruit, all layered with a touch of minerality and a beautifully lingering finish.

Crafted from an original blend of two native Sicilian red grape varieties, Nerello Mascalese (from the volcanic soils of Mount Etna, contributing minerality and floral notes) and Nocera (from Donnafugata's Contessa Entellina estate, providing a captivating fruity component), it's a testament to Sicilian viticulture.

It is an excellent choice as an aperitif and pairs beautifully with raw fish, vegetarian dishes, and delicate meats. Serve it chilled, ideally between 10-12°C (50-53°F). Beyond its taste, the wine's allure is enhanced by its visually striking label, which draws inspiration from the traditional Sicilian cart, reflecting the island's rich craftsmanship and culture.

Score

"Wonderfully spicy, Rosa is a pretty pale pink color with a bouquet of lime-infused green apples and hints of confectionery spice. It opens with a pretty inner sweetness that gives way to vivid white pear and zests of orange. A core of vibrant acidity maintains fantastic energy within. This cleans up beautifully, crisp and refreshing with a salty flourish—a fantastic rendition of Donnafugata's Rosa, despite the difficulties of the vintage."--92 points, Vinous.
