What's Donnafugata?

José and Antonio Rallo impeccably lead the enological universe of Donnafugata, always keeping the winery’s respectable heritage in mind - after all, Donnafugata has roots in the land of Marsala dating back to 1851. The landscapes and panoramas of Donnafugata’s lands are so prolific and powerful, they influence the winery’s many interests beyond just wine: artistic, literary and musical pursuits, giving life to the example Donnafugata sets of authentic and sustainable wine in Sicily.

The literal translation of Sangiovese being "Blood of Jupiter" (Jupiter being the King of the Gods).
