Donnafugata SEDARA Sicilia IGT

An exciting blend of Merlot with the indigenous Sicilian variety Nero d'Avola that makes a full ripe deliciously plummy red. (6 x 75 cl)

This is a mellow but balanced wine made from the local grapes. "...powerful grass and smoke aroma on the nose, lots of attractive rich fruit and a mouth-filling style..." (12 x 75 cl)

Top flight Sicilian wine with a nod to international flavours. A combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, the local Nero d'Avola and barrique ageing give it an elegance backed up by a powerful finish. (6 x 75 cl)

The firm, structured and typically Chardonnay flavours are well supported by the subtle oak ageing that gives it a distinctive richness (6 x 75 cl)

The Contessa Entellina zone was given DOC status in 1994. The region enjoys temperate winters and summers marked by substantial fluctuations between daytime and night time temperatures, which assure the production of wholesome grapes that are perfectly ripe and rich in aromas. This wine is called Mille e una Notte or Thousand and One Nights. The wine label designed by Gabriella Anca Rallo captured this image with the sky dotted with stars while the palace on the label is that of Santa Margherita Belice. Harvested in September, the grapes are vinified in stainless steel at 26-30ºC and with skin contact of about 12 days. After malolactic fermentation, the wine is placed in mostly new French-oak barriques for 15-18 months, while bottle fining takes at least 12 months. A wine with a big structure and a remarkable personality not only does it have great depth and complexity but also ripeness and richness of texture. (6 x 75 cl)

A single vineyard in the middle of the Donnafugata estate produces a wine with a densely packed nose backed up by a palate with plenty of weight and structure. Made primarily with the Inzolia variety. (6 x 75 cl)

This 2006 vintage is characterised by an excellent equilibrium between structure of acids and sugars. the golden colour has brilliant amber reflections. The bouquet is full with scents of ripe apricots and Mediterranean underbush. There are notes of candied citrus fruits and honey. There is a delicate mineral touch in the finish with shadings that recall flint. The wine is complex, pleasant and elegant. (6 x 75 cl)
