2018 Donnafugata Sherazade
James Suckling, James Suckling, November 2019
“A nero d’avola with a light, fresh edge, revealing sour cherries and raspberry cheesecake with a touch of citrus. Very taut and edgy, almost tart, on the palate, but there’s undeniable transparency and depth. Medium-bodied and medium-chewy. Drink now.”

2018 Donnafugata Sherazade
Ian D'Agata, Vinous, August 2019
“Bright deep red. Very perfumed and precise nose of violets, black cherry and delicate herbs. Then juicy and fresh, with outstanding sugar-acid-tannin balance on the crisp, long and lively finish. Delicious, lovely medium-bodied, very fresh red that can take a little chilling. Maybe the best Sherazade ever.”

2020 Donnafugata Rosa Dolce&Gabbana
Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, December 2021
“Aromas of tropical fruit and spring blossoms lead the nose. Light-hearted and charming, the palate offers ripe honeydew, white peach and strawberry compote alongside pink grapefruit and a candied note. Tangy acidity lifts the rich flavors.”

2019 Donnafugata Rosa Dolce&Gabbana
James Suckling, James Suckling, December 2020
“Pale rose-gold color. This is a creamy, medium-bodied rosé with layers of strawberry compote, cherry blossom and grapefruit zest on the nose and palate. Dry and crisp with red-apple and nutmeg notes, too. More like a light red. Nerello mascalese and nocera. Drink now.”

2021 Donnafugata Rosa Dolce&Gabbana
Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2022
“With a pretty, pale pink color and sweetly scented nose, the 2021 Rosa Dolce & Gabbana mades a lovely first impression. Ripe melon, Asian pear, mint and nuances of white smoke create an inviting bouquet. It’s round and elegant in feel, engulfing the palate in mineral-tinged orchard fruits and hints of chamomile. A salty flourish emerges through the finale, as notes of sour citrus and inner wet stone slowly fade. This is a total pleasure to taste. ”

2017 Donnafugata Sul Vulcano Etna Rosso
Stephanie Johnson, Wine & Spirits, October 2020
“Year's Best Etna Wines. This lively nerello mascalese offers flavors of crunchy red berries that mingle with notes of blood orange and white smoke. Fine sandpapery tannins give shape to the bright red fruit and the wine finishes with pleasant herbal accents.”

2016 Donnafugata Fragore
Stephanie Johnson, Wine & Spirits, October 2020
“Year's Best Etna Wines. This wine rested for 14 months in French oak barrels (second and third use) that imparted notes of sweet resin, caramel and dark chocolate to the red plum and mixed berry flavors. Cellar it for a couple of years to allow these oak-driven flavors to integrate with the vibrant fruit.”

2016 Donnafugata Fragore
Monica Larner, Robert Parker Wine Advocate, October 2019
“Here is a new and exciting wine from the folks at Donnafugata. The 2016 Etna Rosso Contrada Montelaguardia Fragore is a compact and mid-weight expression that opens to a pretty garnet color with dark ruby hues. The bouquet is redolent of wild berry and cassis, but you also get hints of wild rose, smoke, tar and volcanic smoke. As a first vintage of this wine from Etna, the folks at Donnafugata have hit the nail on the head. This is a great wine for a blackened tuna steak on the grill. Some 15,000 bottles were made.”
