The palace illustrated on the label is the one where Queen Maria Carolina took refuge on the run from Naples and was the favorite home of the writer Tomasi di Lampedusa in Santa Margherita Belice. Gabriella Anca Rallo - founder of Donnafugata together with her husband Giacomo - captures the image and embeds it in a sky of "A Thousand and One Nights" full of stars and full of promise. A tribute to the passionate masterpiece of oriental literature, capable of telling a thousand and one fairy tales. An icon of Italian excellence in the world.
Tasting notes
With an intense ruby red color, Mille e una Notte 2017 presents a wide and deep bouquet characterized by notes of black berry fruit (mulberry and currant), delicate balsamic hints (licorice) and pleasant nuances of cocoa and vanilla. In the mouth it is soft and enveloping, and surprises for the great finesse of the tannin. It closes with a notable gustatory length.
Pairings
Excellent with roasts and braised meats, first courses with meat sauce and rack of lamb. Try it on tasty fish dishes
stew.
