The result is a range of serious and collectable wines that will stand the test of time. Rosa is a Sicilian Rosato DOC wine and an original blend of two red grape varieties, among the most representative of Sicilian viticulture: Nerello Mascalese and Nocera. The Nerello Mascalese is grown on the volcanic soils of Mount Etna and the Nocera (an ancient almost forgotten variety with a prestigious past) is planted on hillside vineyards at Donnafugata's Contessa Entellina estate. Upon arrival at the winery, the hand-harvested grape clusters were transferred to a vibrating table for manual sorting, with only the perfectly intact grapes destemmed and delicately crushed. Once fermentation was completed, the Nerello Mascalese and Nocera were blended, followed by two months of ageing in stainless-steel vats and at least three months in the bottle before release. Dolce \u0026amp; Gabbana e Donnafugata Rosa is bright pale pink in colour and displays aromas of jasmine and rose petals, with delicate fruity notes of peach and white-fleshed fruits.
