Wine and literature: the history of the name Sherazade The heroine of the most famous book in Middle Eastern literature, Sherazade is the narrator of The Thousand and One Nights.
Young, beautiful, cultured and refined, with tale after tale she enchants her listeners and becomes a symbol of seduction through the allure of words.

Sherazade, an evocative name for a young red wine that speaks with a voice pulpy with fruit, enveloped in mantles of spice.

Stuffed rice croquettes

The character of Sherazade, a young red wine Sherazade, is a young Nero d'Avola from crunchy grapes grown "ad hoc", vinified at lower temperatures and macerated less than ten days. The result is an easy-going red, featuring varietal aromas, delicate notes of spices and caressing crispness.

Sherazade has outstanding scents of raspberry and other woodland fruits (red current, cherry and blackberry).
It is gentle in structure and as captivating as Sherazade's voice.

We Sicilians drink it chilled when having a bite with friends or colleagues: spaghetti with garlic, oil and chili pepper, grilled sausage, pizza, stuffed rice croquettes or bread seasoned with tomato, local cheese, anchovies, salt, oil and oregano.

The label

Sherazade, a label for a young red wine The label, oriental in inspiration, depicts a richly attired woman, light-footedly dancing, eyes closed.
This is Donnafugata's version of Sherazade, who, with wine-filled goblet, tells her tales and brightens the darkness of the night.

Wine, music and dance blend in a multi-sensorial experience the creator of the label depicts, inviting us to drink to the notes of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Sherazade.
A dazzling orchestration combining two elements typical of Russian music evoking eastern lands: opulent melodies and a variety of rhythms.

Sensual, colorful music used for the masterpiece choreographed by Russia's Michel Fokine: ballet that enchants with its oriental flavor.
