Donnafugata, Contessa Entellina — Attraction in Contessa Entellina

Donnafugatta Winery

Visiting Donnfuggata Contessa Winery was a great pleasure and experience on our visit to Sicily in November. The grounds of the winery are as beautiful as the taste of their wines. They have been producing acclaimed wines year after year. They were founded by Giacomo Rallo and his lovely wife Gabriella in 1983. Giacomo is a fourth-generation winemaker who has made his mark in the Italian wine industry. Gabriella, too, has had tremendous input in the winemaking process as a pioneer of feminine viticulture. She is also responsible for the landscaping of the Contessa winery. I do not claim to be a wine expert, but I know if I like a wine and the difference between industrial winemaking and craft winemaking. We had a tour of the grounds and a glass of sparkling Rosé, Rosa D&G 2023. Our tasting consisted of five wines: two whites, Sur Sur 2023, a Bianco, and my favorite, Sul Vulcano Bianco 2021, two reds, Floramundi 2022, Mille e Una Notte 2020, a Sicilia DOC Rosso, and a dessert wine.

If you have the opportunity to visit this or one of the other four wineries in Sicily, do not miss the extraordinary experience waiting for you. Like me, you will leave with lovely memories and a bottle or...

We have never been to a wine tasting before and Ignazio was so patient and answered all our questions. The setting of this winery is beautiful with stunning gardens and views, and the house and company have a rich and...

Insomma, a parte la storia e la location d'alta fascia, a parte la qualità dei vini; sinceramente credo che 38,00€ siano una vera rapina per una degustazione, organizzata in formato ultra mini ridotta, e con cibetto di basso rango In questa esperienza la nostra/degustazione a costo altissimo ha sminuito la grande preparazione d personale e la storicità del luogo; peccato che non sia all'altezza delle altre cantine siciliane. P.s.: il vino, lo stesso, compratelo enoteca: la dentro costa il triplo per lo memo! INOLTRE: MI RACCOMAMDO NON CHIEDETE FATTURA!!!!! .....Mi sa che non sanno proprio farla! Io ho pagato con carta, chiedo fattura, la Signora alla cassa mi dice: mi dia i dati e lunedì la mandiamo.... ...ovviamente dopo due settimane ancora aspetto e poi scopro che non posso farla perché avevano fatto uno scontrino!! ...scusate, io sono un ragione: la fattura si può fare facendo riferimento allo scontrino.... ...che preparazione...
