Rosa Dolce&Gabbana Donnafugata 2023 Sicilia Doc Rosato Rosa is the rosè wine that stands out for its elegant fragrance and minerality; deriving from the partnership between Dolce&Gabbana and Donnafugata, it is the perfect ambassador of two Made in Italy excellences, united by their unconditional love for Sicily, passion for work and attention to detail.
GRAPES AND PRODUCTION AREA Rosa is the fruit of an original blend of two red grape varieties, among the most representative of Sicilian viticulture: Nerello Mascalese and Nocera. Nerello Mascalese is grown on the volcanic soils on Etna among the municipalities of Randazzo and Castiglione di Sicilia; it expresses minerality and a refined floral component and lends itself very well to the production of rosé wines. Nocera is an ancient almost forgotten variety with a prestigious past. After years of experimentation, Donnafugata planted it in its hillside vineyards in the Contessa Entellina estate. Here Nocera reaches an ideal sugar maturation with a high level of acidity; it gives birth to a wine with a captivating fruity bouquet.
TASTING NOTES Bright pale pink in color, it has a wide floral bouquet of jasmine and rose petals, with delicate fruity notes of peach and white-fleshed fruits. Of pleasant fragrance, minerality and finesse, it surprises with remarkable persistence
