Description
Sicilian DOC still white wine, 12.5% ABV, produced by Donnafugata, a Sicilian family-run winery since 1983. 100% Catarratto Bianco Lucido. 0.75 L bottle. A wine that embodies the essence of Sicily, with a label that celebrates the island's history and beauty. The label features the face of a woman, mysterious and elusive like the Elymians, an ancient people of western Sicily. On the nose, it offers a fresh and fragrant bouquet with notes of white-fleshed fruit combined with hints of wildflowers. Straw yellow. On the palate, the evident fruity note is refreshed by a pleasant savory finish. It has a good persistence on the finish. Excellent as an aperitif, it pairs perfectly with fish dishes, seafood, and fresh cheeses.

| Story | The label is the face of a woman, mysterious and elusive like the civilisation of the Elymians, an ancient people of western Sicily who founded Entella, in the area where Donnafugata's vineyards are now located. 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. |
