2018 Donnafugata Anthìlia
Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, October 2019
“Donnafugata's 2018 Sicilia Anthìlia is a Catarratto-based blend with a very pretty and delicate aromatic profile that incorporates elements of white flower, honey, pear and passion fruit. This is a zesty and streamlined white wine (that sees no oak) to drink on easy occasions with light finger foods or bite-sized sushi rolls. Production is large at 830,000 bottles made.”

2018 Donnafugata Anthìlia
James Suckling, James Suckling, June 2019
“Solid concentration and depth on the nose here, which also manages to be vibrant and focussed. Sliced lemons, apples and apricots are all on offer. The acidity really makes this medium-bodied wine, drawing it out long and keeping it tightly wound all the while. Drink now.”

2018 Donnafugata Anthìlia
Ian D'Agata, Vinous, August 2019
“Luminous straw yellow. Fresh, crisp aromas and flavors of white peach, lime and aromatic herbs. Juicy and fresh, with lovely sugar acid balance and sneaky concentration and length. Outstanding Anthìlia that seems to have more stuffing than usual while retaining its trademark easy drinking, uncomplicated style.”

2018 Donnafugata Sul Vulcano Etna Bianco
Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, October 2021
“From Donnafugata’s relatively new winery on Mount Etna, the 2018 Etna Bianco Sul Vulcano shows mineral notes or crushed rock and volcanic ash that are delicately interwoven with white peach and Anjou pear. That characteristic sweet versus salty side to Carricante is one of the most enduring and charming traits of this promising white grape. It's a classic appetizer wine for steamed clams and mussels.”

2015 Donnafugata Tancredi

“Year's Best Sicilian Wines”

2016 Donnafugata Tancredi
Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, October 2019
“Donnafugata's Tancredi is one of Sicily's most popular red wines, and it's easy to see why. The 2016 Tancredi is rich and soft at the same time, with a very pleasing texture that caresses the palate with dark fruit, spice and plum. The wine is mostly a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Nero d'Avola, although some Tannat and other grapes are thrown in. It ages in oak for 14 months. This is a complete effort that boasts thick layering and volume. Some 89,000 bottles were made.”

2015 Donnafugata Tancredi
James Suckling, James Suckling, June 2019
“A beautiful red that suggests currant bush, dark plums and cassis, together with vanilla and baking spices. Full-bodied with a really velvety texture. Even so, this remains balanced, due to the influence of the solid acidity and tannin backbone. Drink now or hold.”
