Viniou Reviews
The 2018 Donnafugata Rosso from Sicily is a testament to the rich and robust winemaking tradition of this captivating Italian island. Produced by the renowned Donnafugata winery, this red wine is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing the vibrant character of Sicily’s indigenous grapes. Though the specific blend of grapes isn’t detailed, it's typical for Sicilian reds to feature varieties like Nero d'Avola or Nerello Mascalese, noted for their boldness and complexity. The terroir of Sicily greatly influences this wine, with its vineyards benefiting from the island’s Mediterranean climate—characterised by warm, sunny days and cool nights. The volcanic soil, especially from areas around Mount Etna and other regions, contributes to the wine's unique minerality and depth.
Sicily, being the largest island in the Mediterranean, has an illustrious winemaking history that dates back thousands of years, influenced by various cultures including the Greeks and Romans. Its diverse landscape and favourable weather conditions make it an ideal place for viticulture. The combination of ancient vines and modern techniques allows winemakers like Donnafugata to produce wines that are both traditional and innovative.
For pairing, this Sicilian red works marvelously with hearty dishes. Enjoy it with classic Sicilian cuisine such as Caponata, a sweet and sour aubergine dish, or with a rich ragu pasta like Pasta alla Norma. The wine’s robust nature also pairs well with grilled meats, especially lamb or beef, and can complement a variety of cheeses, notably aged Pecorino or Caciocavallo.
When it comes to tasting, serve this red wine slightly below room temperature to fully appreciate its aromas and flavours. Aim for a serving temperature of around 16-18°C. This allows the wine’s fruity and earthy notes to express themselves most elegantly, ensuring a delightful drinking experience.
