2019 Donnafugata Mille e una Notte
Eric Guido, Vinous, September 2023
“Hauntingly dark and spicy, the 2019 Mille e Una Notte opens with a burst of mentholated herbs, cloves, shaved cedar and crushed blackberries. It's seamlessly silky and elegant throughout. Textural waves of ripe red and black fruits ride a core of vibrant acidity, leaving balsam herbal tones, cocoa and fine-grained tannins in their wake. The 2019 finishes dramatically long and structured, with a twang of tart red plums and sage. This is a radiant yet powerful rendition of Mille e Una Notte, which will benefit from and demand cellaring.”

2019 Donnafugata Mille e una Notte
Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, June 2023
“The 2019 Sicilia Mille e Una Notte is a blend of Nero d'Avola, Petit Verdot, Syrah and other complementary grapes. Tasted quite young, this wine needs more age and certainly another year or two in bottle. The oak spice needs more time to melt into the beautiful dark fruit supplied in this classic vintage. The bouquet peels back to reveal black cherry, spice and baking chocolate. The concentration is medium rich, and its texture is velvety.”

2019 Donnafugata Mille e una Notte
Tom Hyland, International Wine Report, March 2023
“Primarily Nero d'Avola, with smaller percentages of Petit Verdot, Syrah and other grapes. Bright, medium deep purple; aromas of mocha, blackberry, clove and lavender. Medium-full, this has excellent ripeness, notable Nero d'Avola character, good acidity, medium full tannins, well integrated oak notes and very good persistence; the finish displays notes of dark chocolate and tar. Give another year or two to round out; peak in 10-12 years.”

2019 Donnafugata Mille e una Notte
Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, February 2024
“A balanced, medium- to full-bodied red, with flavors of ripe black currant, black plum reduction, espresso and Earl Grey tea well-meshed with sculpted tannins. Silky in texture and lively through the well-spiced, minerally finish. Nero d'Avola, Petit Verdot and Syrah. Drink now through 2029.”

2020 Donnafugata Fragore
Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024
“Dusty rose, underbrush, grilled herbs and dried strawberries form a darkly alluring bouquet as the 2020 Etna Rosso Fragore slowly evolves in the glass. This floods the palate with silken textures and polished red berry fruits, elevated by a hint of blood orange. It finishes spicy, structured and long, leaving a pleasantly bitter sensation as crunchy tannins linger on. The Fragore hails from Contrada Montelagguardia, which is surrounded by forest that naturally cools the location.”

2020 Donnafugata Fragore
Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, June 2024
“A well-oaked white, with lavish vanilla, baking spice and lime blossom accents to the flavors of glazed apple and tangerine fruit. The mouthwatering acidity is well-meshed, providing definition and carrying the rich flavors through the lingering, lightly salty finish. Best after 2026.”

Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, July 2023
“This well-balanced, harmonious and nicely fruity wine has everything in the right proportions. Floral top notes in the aroma lead to ample ripe apples, pineapples, honey and light baking spices on the palate as a smooth texture has just enough tang for good balance.”
