Donnafugata Sedara

When we first tasted this Donnafugata Sedara, we were instantly smitten. It's a unique blend of the finest grape varieties found on the island of Sicily. It's a blend of Nero d'Avola grapes with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, among others. After being hand-harvested in the vineyards, this wine ferments in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of around 25 degrees Celsius. The red wine then matures for nine months in concrete tanks and then another six months in bottle in the Donnafugata cellars. Only when this red Sedara reaches its perfect balance can it be served. Thanks to the Donnafugata winery, exquisite, top-quality Italian wines are produced. Since 1851, the passionate Rallo family has been producing wines on the island of Sicily. With their unique style, they have helped establish Sicilian wine worldwide. The estate is currently run by the fifth generation of the family.
