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.
