The Rallo family has made wine in historic Marsala since 1851, and
their ancient cellars tunnel beneath the city. They were one of the
first families to begin making high quality table wine when sales of
traditional sweet Marsala started to decline, launching the
Donnafugata label in 1983, and championing some of the more
obscure regional Italian grape varieties. Today, they have two
estates in Sicily: a modern winery and 260 hectares at Contessa
Entellina in the hills east of Marsala; and 68 hectares on the island
of Pantelleria. Donnafugata means ëfleeing womaní - a reference
to Queen Maria Carolina who escaped the court of Naples in the
early 19th century with her husband Ferdinand IV of Bourbon when
Napoleonís troops arrived. The couple took refuge in Sicily at Santa
Margherita Belice palace, also the favourite residence of
celebrated writer Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa and depicted
on the ëMille e Una Notteí label.
