Donnafugata Vino Spumante Bianco 2018 is a sparkling white wine from Sicily, Italy. It is made from a blend of indigenous grapes, including Ansonica and Catarratto, that are grown in the Contessa Entellina estate. The wine is made using the Champenoise method, which involves a secondary fermentation in bottle to create the bubbles.
This wine has a delicate and fruity aroma, with notes of apple and peach. On the palate, it is crisp and refreshing with a fine and persistent perlage. It is a perfect aperitif wine, pairing well with seafood and light appetizers.
Donnafugata is a family-owned winery founded in 1983 in Sicily. They are committed to producing wines that express the unique character of the region, while also incorporating modern winemaking techniques. Their dedication to quality has earned them numerous awards and recognition, including being named "Italy's Best Winery" by Wine & Spirits magazine.
One interesting fact about Donnafugata is that the name of the winery translates to "fleeing woman" in Italian, which is a reference to the story of Queen Maria Carolina, who fled Naples and found refuge in the vineyards of Sicily. The winery's name serves as a tribute to her story and the region's rich history
