The story of the name “Donnafugata” originates from the most Sicilian of novels, The Leopard, and refers to Queen Maria Carolina who, fleeing Naples, found refuge where the company vineyards are today. A story that also inspired the logo: a woman’s face with hair in the wind. A face, and a story, which is also that of Gabriella Rallo, the “donna-fugata” who abandons her job as a teacher to work full-time in the Contessa Entellina vineyards. One of the first women in Sicily to produce wine in a sector typically dominated by men: a pioneer of quality female viticulture.
