2018 Donnafugata Anthìlia

Monica Larner, Robert Parker 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.”

2020 Donnafugata Anthìlia

Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, December 2021

“Aromas of white spring flowers, wild herbs and white stone fruit waft out of the glass. On the vibrant, savory palate, crisp acidity frames ripe apple, peach and orange zest alongside a vein of saline mineral. ”

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, Robert Parker 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.”

Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, October 2021

“Subdued aromas suggesting toasted nuts and yellow apple skin form the subtle nose. The aromas follow on the lean, crisp palate along with hints of Meyer lemon and saline. ”

2017 Donnafugata Sul Vulcano Etna Bianco

James Suckling, James Suckling, December 2020

“A medium-bodied, crisp white with aromas and flavors of lemon peel, beeswax, spiced apples and walnuts. Layers of dried pineapple and jack-fruit, too. Lightly oily texture. A little waxy at the end. Drink now.”
