Donnafugata, a symbol of Sicilian winemaking excellence, celebrates the timeless story of The Leopard with a special partnership with the Netflix series. This synergy brings to life an exclusive Special Edition of Mille e una Notte. Just like the plot of the Netflix series The Leopard, each bottle tells a story that journeys through the landscapes of Sicily, in a timeless setting, transforming every sip into a journey through the island’s deepest roots, offering a unique experience of its rich, complex soul.
The 2021 vintage of Mille e una Notte was chosen to pay tribute to the Netflix series The Leopard, thanks to its exceptional qualities that perfectly embody the excellence of this iconic wine.
The 2021 harvest is the result of meticulous vineyard work, carried out through agricultural practices aimed at achieving outstanding quality in harmony with the company’s high standards. Favourable weather conditions ensured a balanced vegetative and productive cycle, enhancing the potential of the grapes.
Produced through bespoke winemaking and extended aging, the Mille e una Notte 2021 boasts an extraordinarily elegant bouquet, ranging from fruity to spicy notes. On the palate, its velvety tannins reveal great depth, with a seductive and lingering finish.
Mille e una Notte was conceived by Giacomo and Gabriella with the aim of creating a unique wine that would stand out in the island’s winemaking scene, becoming an icon of Italian excellence worldwide. This is the story of a red wine that has reshaped the global perception of Sicilian wine, reflecting the company’s artisanal approach and the distinctive elegance of Sicily found in the Netflix series The Leopard. For this reason, Mille e una Notte 2021 has been selected for a Special Edition that fully represents the innate creativity Donnafugata brings to its winemaking, alongside Netflix’s ability to captivate audiences with stories that have become cultural icons.
The Special Edition of Mille e una Notte 2021 marks an important new chapter in Donnafugata’s journey, centred on the union of art and wine, where identity and progress come together to celebrate and enhance Sicilian culture. The iconic label is enriched with a precious baroque cartouche and the logo of the Netflix series The Leopard, paying tribute to this partnership.
Donnafugata is the fictional name of the estate owned by the protagonist Fabrizio, Prince of Salina, but it is also the place where our vineyards grow, producing local, high-quality wines such as Mille e una Notte 2021 Special Edition, Tancredi, Angheli, and Sedàra, all of which pay tribute to Sicilian literature.
The roots are deeply connected to memory, and each vine carries stories of centuries that have never truly been lost: the ancient practices of those who lovingly cultivate the land, passing down the art of winemaking. It is in this family continuity that the spirit of revolution lies: the ability to renew without rejecting one’s origins, to experiment with modern techniques while respecting tradition – the key to true progress.
