Donnafugata Sherazade Nero d'Avola

Sherazade is Donnafugata's calling card for Nero d'Avola in its most approachable form: fruity, lively, without the heavy hand that Sicilian red wines sometimes bring.

The Donnafugata winery is located in southwestern Sicily and has been run by the Rallo family since the 1980s. With vineyards in Contessa Entellina and on Pantelleria, it is one of the island's most influential wineries. The name Sherazade reflects Sicily's Arabic roots—both cultural and culinary.

In the glass, it displays a clear ruby ​​red color with violet reflections. The nose offers aromas of Amarena cherry, ripe blackberry, and a hint of violet. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with soft tannins, a vibrant acidity, and a finish with a touch of spice. James Suckling awarded the 2016 vintage 90 points .

Serving temperature: 16–18 °C. Pairs well with pasta al ragù, grilled salsiccia, eggplant dishes, or a mature Pecorino Siciliano. Ready to drink now; no long cellaring required.

The Winery

Donnafugata

Donnafugata – "Woman on the run". The name refers to the novel "The Leopard" and the story of a queen who found refuge exactly where the vineyards are today. The inspiration for the logo.

Giacomo Rallo founded the winery in 1983 with his wife Gabriella. He came from a family with over 160 years of experience in quality viticulture and revolutionized the style of Sicilian wines. Until his death in 2016, he led the house with vision.

Today, José and Antonio Rallo lead a team of professionals in the fifth generation who carry excellence and the Italian way of life into the world – always in search of new challenges.
