2021 Donnafugata Sul Vulcano Etna Rosso
Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, September 2025
“Notes of crunchy, tart red berries, hibiscus, blood orange and salty crushed rocks all set up a wonderfully fresh and immediate wine, but then more sophisticated umami flavors underneath and fierce acidity suggest patience will be rewarded if you give this a little more time in the bottle.”

Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast, September 2025

Wine Enthusiast, September 2025

2024 Donnafugata Anthìlia
Eric Guido, Vinous, July 2025
“A remarkably pretty blend of lemon oil, rosemary and crushed green apple wafts up from the 2024 Bianco Anthìlia. The palate is soothingly round, with a salty flourish contrasted by white pit fruits as perfumed inner florals swirl throughout. It finishes dry yet fresh, with tropical citrus and a floral resonance that linger. The 2024 Bianco Anthìlia aims to please and has a beautiful balance that makes it enjoyable at the dinner .”
