Mille e una Notte - Vintages 2008-2010-2012- Donnafugata
Mille e una Notte comes out of the dream of Giacomo and Gabriella, the founders of Donnafugata, to produce a great Sicilian red wine. Today it is an icon of Italian oenological excellence, the result of a tailoring that is the basis of Donnafugata's production philosophy. It is a wine with great potential, long and enveloping, of rare complexity, which matures in barriques for at least thirteen months.
Mille e una Notte from Donnafugata is produced mainly from Nero d’Avola grapes grown at an altitude of 200-400 m. near the sea in southwestern Sicily. It presents an ample bouquet with fruity aromas of black berries, delicate balsamic scents and pleasant notes of cocoa and vanilla. The taste is soft and embracing with silky tannins.

Bouquet: An ample and enveloping bouquet characterized by fruity notes of mulberry, blackberry and plum, and balsamic and spicy scents (nutmeg).
Taste: In the mouth it is soft and intense and it amazes with the great finesse of its tannins. Long persistence on the finish.
