2021 Tancredi “Dolce & Gabbana” & 2021 Mille e una Notte, Donnafugata - Sicily - 2 Bottles (0.75L)

“Tancredi D&G” is a sophisticated Sicilian red, created in collaboration with Dolce&Gabbana and dedicated to Tancredi Falconeri, a character from *The Leopard* (*Il Gattopardo*). A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d’Avola, and Tannat with a distinctly Mediterranean personality, it is aged for 14 months in oak and for at least 24 months in the bottle before its release. On the nose, it offers complexity and elegance, featuring an expansive bouquet of fruity notes, spicy and balsamic nuances, and hints of sweet toastiness, such as vanilla and tobacco. On the palate, it is enveloping, with fine, well-integrated tannins. With a persistent finish, it pairs perfectly with braised meat cooked in wine.

“Mille e una Notte" is one of the most prestigious and significant labels from the Donnafugata winery. It is crafted primarily from Nero d'Avola, with a very small proportion of other local grape varieties, and is aged for 13–14 months in barriques. On the nose, it is intense, complex, and characterized by notes of spice, fruit, and flowers, with a balsamic finish. On the palate, it is robust, full-bodied, and smooth, featuring a dense tannic structure.
