Produced from Zibibbo grapes fermented in stainless steel, it displays a bright straw yellow hue with greenish highlights.

On the palate, the \u003cstrong\u003epronounced freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances the floral notes, leading to a \u003cstrong\u003epleasant mineral finish\u003c\/strong\u003e ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003eraw fish and sushi\u003c\/strong\u003e, shellfish, and crisp vegetable tempura.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine originates in Sicily, on the island of Pantelleria, a land that demands absolute dedication through \u003cstrong\u003eheroic viticulture\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vines are cultivated on terraces protected by dry stone walls, in sandy soils of \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic origin\u003c\/strong\u003e, deep and rich in minerals. The sunny and constantly breezy climate requires the use of the traditional \u003cstrong\u003ealberello pantesco\u003c\/strong\u003e, an agricultural practice recognised by UNESCO. This system protects the plants from the wind and encourages the development of intense aromas, which unmistakably evoke the Mediterranean scrubland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with meticulous harvesting, carried out between the second half of August and mid-September. To preserve the aromatic richness of the grapes, \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e takes place at a controlled temperature. This is followed by a targeted \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in tank\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting two months, essential for harmonising the wine's structure. Finally, a three-month rest in the bottle allows the wine to express a precise aromatic definition and remarkable persistence on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1983 by the Rallo family, \u003cstrong\u003eDonnafugata\u003c\/strong\u003e combines oenological excellence with artist-designed labels to convey the profound magic of Sicily. Lighea, created in 1990, pays tribute to the enchanting siren imagined by Tomasi di Lampedusa, depicted in Stefano Vitale's sketch with the delicate colours of dawn.
