| Story | The label is the face of a woman, as mysterious and elusive as the civilisation of the Elymians, an ancient people of western Sicily who founded Entella, in the area where Donnafugata's vineyards are today. Anthìlia is the name given in Roman times to the town of Entella atop the fortress of the same name. Anthìlia today is the name of a wine that is identified with the ancient territory from which it originates. It is the first wine to have been conceived at Donnafugata and still remains in the hearts of many admirers. |
