WINE DESCRIPTION
Donnafugata Anthìlia is a refreshing and elegant white wine produced by Donnafugata, a renowned winery in Sicily, Italy. The wine is made from a blend of native Sicilian grapes, including Catarratto and Ansonica, grown in the vineyards located in the hills surrounding the city of Marsala. The vineyards benefit from the Mediterranean climate and the proximity to the sea, which gives the wine its distinctive minerality and freshness. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the grapes, followed by a gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is crisp, with notes of citrus and tropical fruits, and a delicate floral aroma. Donnafugata Anthìlia is a perfect match for seafood dishes and light appetizers, and it's an excellent choice for those who appreciate a well-balanced and easy-drinking white wine.

A bright and well-structured white, Donnafugata Anthìlia is a delightful Sicilian wine crafted from the Catarratto, Grecanico and Chardonnay grape varieties.On the nose, expect an enticing mix of peach, apricot and white flowers, while the palate is round and persistent, with notes of almond, honey and a hint of citrus. A pleasant and enjoyable white that is perfect for any occasion.
