2022 Vigna di Gabriel Donnafugata

This wine is made from Ansonica grapes blended with Chardonnay, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc and Catarratto. The Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier grapes were harvested in the first ten days of August; Ansonica and Lucido (Catarratto), on the other hand, were picked in the first decade of September. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. After 85% of the wine has been aged in cement tanks and 15% is left on its lees, the wine is aged for 6 months in French oak barrels and then 3 months in the bottle before being released.

Vigna di Gabri has a bright straw yellow color with green reflections. The bouquet is intense and complex, ranging from citrus and tropical aromas to floral notes and pleasant nuances of aromatic herbs. On the palate it is fresh and enveloping with a pleasantly savory finish that prolongs its persistence. A fine and elegant white wine with a fascinating personality and a surprising longevity.
