Cellar
Donnafugata was born from the commitment and foresight of a family that, with passion, has been able to innovate the style and perception of Sicilian wine in the world.
Giacomo Rallo, the fourth generation of a family with more than 160 years of experience in quality wine, founded Donnafugata in 1983 together with his wife Gabriella, a pioneer of winemaking in Sicily. Today, their sons José and Antonio lead the company and a team of people focused on excellence.
Donnafugata would not be the company it is today if Gabriella had given it a different name.
The name Donnafugata refers to Tomasi di Lampedusa's novel The Leopard. A name that means 'woman on the run' and refers to the story of a queen who found refuge in that part of Sicily where the company's vineyards are today. A story that inspired the company logo: the image of a woman's head with her hair in the wind that stands out on every bottle.
A face that is also that of Gabriella Rallo, the 'donnafugata' who gave up her job as a teacher to look after the Contessa Entellina vineyards full-time. One of the first women in Sicily to produce wine in a sector typically dominated by men: a pioneer of quality female viticulture.
