Fragore by Donnafugata, from the Montelaguardia area of the Etna region in Randazzo, joins the collection of iconic wines Mille e una Notte and Ben Ryè. With just 15,000 bottles, Donnafugata has produced a limited-edition treasure. "Fragore" means "thunder" in Italian: it refers to the volcanic rumblings of Mount Etna, Europe's highest and most active volcano. The wine is made from grapes of the indigenous Nerello Mascalese variety, sourced from selected vineyards.

A bright, radiant ruby red. A spicy, floral bouquet of redcurrants, tobacco, nutmeg and violets, complemented by a delicate hint of flint. On the palate, it is beautifully complex and elegant, with finely structured tannins guiding every sip towards a lingering final. SUPERIORE.DE

"A brilliant ruby red with garnet-red highlights. On the nose, notes of red and black fruits, slightly spicy, with subtle woody notes, cinnamon and tobacco. On the palate, medium-bodied, well-structured, pleasantly fresh and with well-integrated tannins, maintaining good intensity right through to the finish. Exciting and long-lasting." Falstaff

"The bouquet is dominated by wild blackberries and cherries, followed by notes of crushed roses, a hint of ash, tar and liquorice. On the palate, this medium-bodied red wine unfolds with even greater fullness and impresses with its enhanced structure and complexity." Wine Advocate

"The nose has the simultaneously sweet and energizing feel of vanilla, clove, star anise, licorice, cardamom and cherry blossom, while the palate both complements and balances with a leading element of warm, spicy citrus, before darker berries burst on the finish. Tannins are firm but dusty." Wine Enthusiast
