Lighea 2023

The name Donnafugata refers to Tomasi di Lampedusa's novel Il Gattopardo (The Leopard). The name means "donna in fuga" (woman on the run) and refers to the story of a queen who found refuge in the part of Sicily where the company's vineyards are located today. An adventure that inspired the company's logo: the image of a woman's head with windswept hair that dominates each bottle. The Donnafugata labels are also works of art created or inspired by Gabriella Rallo, as are the names of the wines, a tribute to art and literature.

Eye: Lighea is a brilliant straw-yellow colour with greenish highlights.

Nose: A rich, fragrant bouquet where classic orange blossom notes combine with citrus (cedar and bergamot) and exotic fruit.

Palate: On the palate, fruity and floral notes resurface, accompanied by a marked freshness, with good persistence and a pleasant mineral finish.
