Vintage 2020
Change vintageWith an intense ruby red color, Tancredi 2020 displays notes of ripe red fruit: cherries and plums. It has scents of red rose followed by delicate spicy hints (nutmeg and white pepper) and sweet nuances of vanilla and tobacco.
On the palate it unfolds all its enveloping and plentiful personality with perfectly integrated tannins; it ends with a long and elegant persistence.

Tancredi Dolce&Gabbana e Donnafugata
The name Tancredi recalls one of the protagonists of the Leopard, an inexhaustible source of inspiration also for Dolce&Gabbana; in the novel and in the film of the same name, Tancredi is the favorite nephew of the Prince of Salina, precisely because of his charm and ability to adapt to changes. With a passionate and irrefutably Sicilian character, Tancredi was born in 1990 from an innovative blend for that era of a native grape variety with an international one.
Dolce&Gabbana has created the coordinated image of this “revolutionary” wine, paying homage precisely to the Leopard, and in particular to the contrast between tradition and modernity that Tancredi summarizes in itself. While gold, blue and sinuous lines of Baroque inspiration celebrate the splendor of the aristocracy now in decline, red, green and the geometric figures refer to the new revolutionary values that are emerging in Sicily after the unification of Italy and which prelude to the contemporary history of the island.
