The grappa 'Mille e Una Notte' by Donnafugata is produced from the skins of the Thousand and One Nights, is soft and refined and matures in small oak barrels. The refinement in barriques has given an extraordinarily wide aromatic complex, leaving notes of dried and toasted fruit, cooked and syruped fruit up to the ripe marasca, which alternate with notes of honey and vanilla.
The grappa 'Ben Ryé' by Donnafugata comes from the Ben Ryé pomace: intense aroma, distilled with golden reflections, with a characteristic citrus note that opens up in a thousand facets of fresh and candied fruit (cedar, peach, apricot and exotic fruit) that blend with a delicate vanilla scent. Perfect as a meal, to pair with fruit and dry pastries; to try, in very small sips, with seasoned and spicy cheeses.

The Acquavite d'Uva 'Prime Zibibbo' harvest 2005 by Bonaventura Maschio is a very delicate distillate that is produced from the perfumed Zibibbo grapes of Pantelleria of the Donnafugata vineyards.

This was followed by a soft crushing and controlled fermentation, then the distillation in exclusive boule copper stills, operating under low temperature vacuum. Each processing step has been designed to best safeguard the primary aromas of particularly fine grapes. For connoisseurs.
