There are wineries about which every good wine lover thinks he knows everything. Simply because they have always represented the world of Italian wine. Among these, there is no doubt that a special place is occupied by Donnafugata. A winery that for many is synonymous with Sicily and quality wine. A historic brand owned by the Rallo family, Donnafugata produces wines in different areas of Sicily. From East to West, from Trapani to Etna, there is no wine-producing area in Sicily where Donnafugata does not have a vineyard. What few people know, however, is that the name Donnafugata is due to Gabriella Rallo, wife of the founder and mother of the two enterprising current managers of the company. Gabriella Anca Rallo, a courageous woman with a penchant for innovation, was a pioneer of quality viticulture in Sicily. She is the true 'donnafugata' (woman on the run) who abandoned her job as a teacher to take full-time care of the Contessa Entellina vineyards. One of the first women in Sicily to produce wine, in a sector typically dominated by men. A true pioneer of quality female viticulture. All that remains, therefore, is to say thank you to Gabriella. For being so courageous and for inspiring all this. Cheers!
