Product Notes

Donnafugata Dolce & Gabbana Cuordilava Etna Rosso is a remarkable Italian wine, embodying the passionate collaboration of iconic fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana and esteemed winery Donnafugata. This exquisite red hails from the volcanic slopes of Sicily's Mount Etna, lending a unique mineral complexity to its opulent, ripe berry flavours. With enticing aromas of cherries, strawberries, and a hint of spicy notes, it intrigues the senses. Aged in French oak, it possesses a smooth, velvety depth, maintaining perfect balance between fruit and tannins. A true connoisseur's choice, this wine epitomises the essence of Italian elegance and flair.
