At Contessa Entellina, where Donnafugata comes from

In the settings of the Gattopardo

In the heart of western Sicily - among the hills of Contessa Entellina, between 200 and 500 m a.s.l. - lie the vineyards Donnafugata comes from. The climate is Mediterranean, with rain concentrated during the autumn and winter months, dry and breezy summers, with a great range of air temperature variations between day and night. The soils are predominantly medium-clayey, but vary according to the peculiarities of the individual districts.

A prestigious red with a noble and revolutionary soul

Between tradition and innovation

Craftsmanship, creativity and innovation blend into this prestigious red, inspired by one of the protagonists of the novel “The Leopard”. The “passionate” and “revolutionary” character can be found in the style of the namesake wine that was created in 1990, from the innovative blend of an international variety with an indigenous one: Cabernet Sauvignon and Nero d’Avola; a production choice that has led to the discovery of Sicilian winemaking excellence at an international level.

The story of Mille e una Notte

Giacomo and Gabriella's dream

Mille e una Notte was born from Giacomo and Gabriella’s dream of creating a wine that would be unique on the Sicilian wine scene. A dream that became reality thanks to the consultation of the enologist Giacomo Tachis, together with whom Giacomo Rallo gave life to the blend of Mille e una Notte: a combination of Nero d'Avola and international varieties, an excellent red capable of innovating the perception of Sicilian wine throughout the world.

Mille e una Notte

The palace illustrated on the label is the one where Queen Maria Carolina took refuge when she was on the run from Naples, the house loved by the writer Tomasi di Lampedusa. Gabriella captures the image and fixes it in a sky of a "Thousand and One Nights". A tribute to the masterpiece of oriental literature capable of telling a thousand and one fairy tales.
