“Fragore” Rosso Contrada Montelaguardia Etna DOC 2020
Fragore by Donnafugata from the Etna region of Montelaguardia in Randazzo joins the collection of iconic wines Mille e una Notte and Ben Ryè. With only 15,000 bottles, Donnafugata has produced a limited edition treasure. Fragore means thunder in Italian and refers to the volcanic thunder of Mount Etna, Europe's highest and most active volcano. Grapes of the autochthonous Nerello Mascalese grape variety from selected vineyards were used.
Bright, radiant ruby red colour. Spicy, floral bouquet of redcurrants, tobacco, nutmeg and violets, with a delicate flint note. Beautifully complex and elegant on the palate, the finely composed tannins guide every sip into a persistent final. SUPERIORE.DE
"Super complex nose with ripe red and pale blue berries, somewhat more precise than the Marchesa. On the palate, it presents itself with a lot of inner density, good depth and smoky mineral notes, a very energetic and typical Etna wine, with the energy of the volcano." Weinwisser
"Medium glossy garnet red colour with a slightly brightening rim. Fragrant nose of wild strawberries, raspberries and cherries, accompanied by a fine flint note. On the palate with a lot of tension, combined with flavourful freshness and a lot of pressure in the finish, has class." Falstaff
"Aromatic notes of spiced cranberries, integrated wood, orange peel and mint. On the palate, it is tannic and yet long-lasting with balsamic hints. Youthful with flavours of caramel, smoke and dark fruit. The initial tannins and acidity develop to emphasise the ripe, elegant fruit. Bitter, lively finish reminiscent of a Negroni." Decanter
"Dusty roses, undergrowth, grilled herbs and dried strawberries form a dark, seductive bouquet as the 2020 Etna Rosso Fragore slowly unfolds in the glass. The palate is flooded with silky textures and polished red berry fruit, enhanced by a hint of blood orange. The finish is savoury, structured and long, leaving a pleasantly bitter aftertaste with crisp tannins. The Fragore comes from the Contrada Montelagguardia, which is surrounded by forests that naturally cool the site." Vinous
"An evolved nose showing slightly cooked cherries, a very smoky character and a peach-like nuance that returns in the aftertaste. Light- to medium-bodied, this has refreshing acidity and lightly framed tannins with a chalky finish." James Suckling

“Cuordilava Edizione Dolce & Gabbana” Rosso Etna Sicilia DOC 2020 · in gift box
The four wines resulting from the collaboration between Dolce & Gabbana and Donnafugata show attention to detail and unconditional love for Sicily. They are the perfect expression of two top companies "Made in Italy". They represent the aesthetic fusion of craftsmanship, creativity and Sicilian passion. Together, they have created a unique collection of wines and packaging that emotionally capture Sicilian culture and lifestyle and express a clear commitment to the beauty and tradition of Sicily.
On Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, wines of great personality are produced in a unique terroir. Due to the altitude of the vineyards, Sicilian sunshine and fresh temperatures come together here: Thanks to the strong temperature fluctuations and the extraordinary richness of the soil - lava flows of rocks, ash and debris, so-called "sciare" - the wines of this area acquire an unmistakable character. Cuordilava is made from 100% Nerello Mascalese and, after a long ageing period, presents itself with notes of red berries, spices and undergrowth. The palate is complex and deep, with flavourful tannins and a long persistence. SUPERIORE.DE
"Flavors of strawberry preserves and plumped cherry are layered with creamy tannins alongside aromatic notes of crushed pine, singed orange peel and minerally tar and stone. Medium-bodied, with a clean sweep of lively acidity, showing more mineral character on the lightly chewy finish." Wine Spectator
"Flavours of dust and plums with some stemminess come through clearly, followed by a medium body, round tannins and a creamy texture. The red fruits have an orange-coloured aftertaste." James Suckling
"This medium ruby red wine offers a nose of strawberry preserves, dates and sun-dried tomatoes. On the palate, it shows chestnuts, figs and dried oranges with firm tannins, lively acidity and a finish reminiscent of dried blood and rust. Stylish and balanced, it captivates with red fruits, vanilla oak and a hint of savoury elegance." Decanter

It is silky yet sincere, with tart wild berries and liquorice underscored by salty minerals, while a balsamic resonance builds towards the finish. The 2020 finishes structured and long. Fine tannins saturate the senses, while savoury herbs and a hint of tart blackberry finish." Vinous
