Sicilia DOC Rosa Dolce&Gabbana 2025 Donnafugata

What kind of wine is it

Rosa Dolce&Gabbana by Donnafugata is a rosé wine produced in Sicily, made from a blend of Nocera and Nerello Mascalese. This wine exemplifies a clean and vibrant style, characterized by a distinctly mineral character. Careful vinification preserves the aromatic precision and tasting clarity typical of the grape varieties used. The calibrated maturation defines an immediate profile and ensures a smooth drinkability combined with lasting persistence on the palate.

Where does it come from

The grapes come from vineyards located on the northern slope of Mount Etna in Sicily. The unique position on the volcano’s slopes imparts the wine with a well-defined character, emphasizing freshness and savoriness. The Etna context gives the glass a strong territorial identity, essential for achieving a rosé with clear precision. In this environment, the union of Nocera and Nerello Mascalese ensures precise aromas and a lively mineral tension.

How is it produced

Harvesting involves selection in the vineyard through manual picking of the grape clusters. Next, the winery performs a cold maceration in the press for between six and twelve hours, necessary to extract color and aromatic components in a controlled manner. The fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature preserves the product’s finesse. Finally, the wine rests in tanks for two months and completes maturation with at least three months of bottle aging.

Tasting notes

The eye is captured by a brilliant pink hue, a direct result of skilled skin contact. The nose reveals a floral bouquet with notes of jasmine and rose petals, accompanied by hints of red currant and touches of bergamot. On the palate, it confirms a fragrant, savory texture, delivers a clear return of red fruits, and finishes with a distinctive and well-ordered persistence.

Food pairings

Thanks to its well-balanced profile, this rosé naturally pairs with appetizer selections and dishes based on raw fish. The fresh and savory component complements the preparations without overpowering the individual ingredients. It is also an excellent choice for vegetarian dishes and recipes featuring white meats served with delicate sauces, ensuring a harmonious gastronomic pairing.

When to serve it

This wine is an ideal option for those who prefer a fresh and precise glass, perfect to accompany friendly gatherings at the table. Resting in glass ensures it’s ready to offer clear aromas from the moment it’s opened. To fully enjoy its floral components, it is recommended to consume it in its youthful phase. Its balanced structure makes it suitable for the entire meal and guarantees consistent organoleptic enjoyment.
