Donnafugata was founded in Sicily by an enterprising family with great passion has revolutionized the style and perception of Sicilian wine in the world.
The name Donnafugata refers to the novel by Tomasi di Lampedusa's The Leopard. A name that means "woman on the run" and refers to the story of a queen who took refuge in that part of Sicily where today there are the vineyards. A story that has inspired the company logo: the image of the head of a woman with hair in the wind that on every bottle.
Donnafugata in Sicily has 3 historical production sites. The ancient cellars in Marsala, where take place the processes of aging and bottling. The Contessa Entellina cellar, in the heart of western Sicily, with vineyards (270 hectares) and olive groves (9 hectares). The Khamma winery on Pantelleria, a volcanic island between Sicily and Africa, with vineyards Zibibbo (68 hectares) planted with tree bush (Unesco).

Story From the Arabic term “Son of the Wind” because the wind sweeps constantly around the grape clusters on Pantelleria.
Origin Marsala (TP)
Harvest Manual harvesting of grapes into crates with careful selection of the grapes in the vineyard. The harvest of the grapes for the production of Ben Ryé began on 17 August with the grapes destined for withering.
Wine making Fermentation is made in stainless steel at controlled temperatures; the dried grapes – added to the fresh must in several batches – are de-stemmed and selected by hand. During maceration, the dried grapes release their extraordinary legacy of sweetness, freshness, and a very personal aroma.
Aging In stainless steel for 7 months and at least 12 months in bottle before being released to the market.
