DOC stands for Denominazione di Origine Controllata. It is the historical acronym established in the sixties and known throughout Italy to identify quality wines produced in small or medium-sized geographical areas with characteristics attributable to the vine, the environment and production methods. The Denomination of Controlled Origin today is an acronym no longer recognized: a European resolution has included these products in the most modern PDO mark, but the use is still allowed as a traditional specific mention.
The Sicilian company Donnafugata is one of the most famous Sicilian companies in Italy and in the world for its wonderful wine production.
Donnafugata is a poetic and evocative name that refers to the famous novel by Tomasi di Lampedusa, The Leopard. In the pages of the book, in fact, Donnafugata identifies the palace of Santa Margherita and the possessions in the countryside of the Prince of Salina, or the places where today the company's vineyards are located.
The company has always been committed to producing wines respecting the environment and man: from good practices in the field to activities in support of the territory and culture. Techniques with less impact are preferred to protect the environment and biodiversity.
Another wonderful peculiarity of the company is to give each bottle a touch of elegance through the creation of labels illustrated by the artist Stefano Vitale, who manages to bring you to Sicily through the use of his colors and his imagination.
