Donnafugata Bell'Assai 2023
"Bell'Assai is a girl with personality who offers to the sweet Sicilian breeze the fruits of the vineyards and the scents of the countryside." — Stefano Vitale, the artist behind the label.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Frappato, one of Sicily's most ancient grape varieties, grown on 36 hectares of sandy, calcareous soil around Vittoria — in the island's southwest, where Frappato finds its greatest expression under the Vittoria DOC.
Taste Profile: Ruby red with violet reflections. A sweet-breeze bouquet of rose and violet florals over ripe raspberry and strawberry fruit. Fresh and fragrant, with soft tannins keeping aroma and flavour in easy harmony.
Winemaking Process: Vinified in stainless steel with 8–9 days of skin maceration at 24–25°C, then aged 4 months in tank and a further 3 months in bottle. Best enjoyed within 3–4 years of the vintage.
Winemaker: Donnafugata was founded in 1983 by Giacomo Rallo, fourth generation of a family making Marsala since 1851, together with his wife Gabriella — pioneers of quality Sicilian viticulture at a time when Marsala was falling out of fashion. Since 1990 the company has been carried forward by their children, José and Antonio Rallo, continuing Giacomo's push to put serious, quality-driven Sicilian wine on the map.
