2020 Donnafugata Dolce & Gabbana Tancredi Limited Edition, Sicily

A complex red with aromas of licorice, black cherries, herbs and cocoa. Firm on the palate, with velvety tannins, a medium body and juicy acidity. Cloves and dark fruit on the pleasantly woody aftertaste. Drink or hold.

Sicilian wine meets Italian high fashion in this striking collaboration between Donnafugata and Dolce & Gabbana. Founded by the Rallo family in 1983, Donnafugata celebrates Sicily's extraordinary vineyards, with winemaker Pietro Russo helping shape its modern reputation. Named after the prince in Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's The Leopard, Tancredi combines Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d'Avola and Tannat, capturing the warmth and character of the island in a beautifully dressed limited edition bottle.

Deep ruby red with garnet highlights. Ripe black cherry, blackberry and plum mingle with liquorice, tobacco, sweet spice and a hint of balsamic herbs. The 2020 vintage is rich and beautifully structured, with polished tannins, refreshing acidity and a lingering savoury finish. Generous, sophisticated and unmistakably Sicilian.

Wonderful with slow cooked lamb and rosemary, Sicilian eggplant parmigiana, or grilled beef with caponata. The striking Dolce & Gabbana packaging makes it an irresistible gift for lovers of Italian wine and design.

Cellaring: Drink now to 2035. Already approachable, with the structure to develop greater savoury complexity
