Contessa Entellina Chardonnay DOC 'Opera Unica' 2018 (750 ml. boxed) Donnafugata
'Opera Unica' by Donnafugata is a small, prestigious production of only 6,574 bottles. Pure Chardonnay resulting from unusual climatic conditions. In 2018, rainfall made harvesting impossible; the singular conditions of temperature and humidity then favored the appearance of noble rot on the bunches. The grapes were vinified separately to create something special. Aged for 9 months in tanks and over 4 years in bottles. Surprising organoleptic profile: extraordinarily broad bouquet of ripe yellow pulp fruit, candied citrus fruits, saffron, ginger, chestnut honey and beeswax; marked acidity and savory finish. This wine goes well with sushi, semi-mature cheeses, mushroom dishes and white meats.

Nestled among the wonders of Sicily, Donnafugata emerges as a beacon of innovation and tradition in the vast ocean of Italian wine. The name itself, evocative and suggestive, recalls stories of fleeing queens and enchanting landscapes, and the winery does not betray the expectations of those seeking authenticity and passion. Located in a rich and diverse territory, Donnafugata is dedicated to the production of wines under the prestigious DOC Sicilia and DOC Etna denominations, enhancing the variety and richness of the island's terroir.
Donnafugata's production philosophy is intrinsically linked to sustainability and innovation, an approach that is reflected not only in the cultivation of their vines, but also in the artistic care of the labels, true visual masterpieces that tell the stories enclosed in each bottle. The grapes grown, such as Nero d'Avola, Zibibbo and Grillo, represent the soul of Sicily, each with a unique character that is expressed in wines of great personality and depth.
Among the most famous labels, Ben Ryé is a triumph of sweetness and intensity, a passito di Pantelleria known for its enveloping aromas of apricot and honey, while Mille e una Notte is a sumptuous and complex red, capable of narrating the starry nights and myths of Sicily with every sip. Each Donnafugata wine is a sensory journey, an invitation to explore the beauty and diversity of this sun-kissed land.
