SurSur is made from Grillo grapes, an ancient grape variety from Sicily. This is an extremely aromatic and intriguing white wine that offers notes of stone fruit, especially peach and aromas of wild flowers and cut grass.
Donnafugata means 'fleeing woman' and is a reference to Queen Maria Carolina, who escaped the court of Naples in the early 19th century with her husband, Ferdinand IV of Bourbon, when Napoleon's troops arrived. The couple took refuge in Sicily at the Santa Margherita Belice palace, also the favourite residence of celebrated writer Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa and depicted on the 'Mille e una Notte' label.
