The Rallo family has made wine in Marsala since 1851 and their ancient cellars tunnel beneath the city. They were one of the first families to begin making high-quality table wine when sales of traditional Marsala started to decline, launching the Donnafugata label in 1983 and championing the potential of the region’s native varieties.
Today, Donnafugata has four estates in Sicily: a modern winery and 283 hectares at Contessa Entellina in the hills east of Marsala, 36 hectares in Vittoria towards the south-eastern point of the island, 68 hectares on the island of Pantelleria, and 18 hectares on the slopes of Etna.
Planted at high density on a slope 200-400 metres above sea level, ‘Sherazade’ is a demonstration of Nero d’Avola’s potential as a varietal wine. The wine is held in tank for 4 months and a further 3 after bottling to ensure the wine has settled before release. Fragrant, crunchy red fruits, delicate blackpepper, and balsamic notes on a soft, smooth palate with deliciousfreshness. Drink on its own, with light chicken dishes or fresh pasta, or use its acidity to cut through a barbecue.
