I am sitting at a table in the tasting room at Donnafugata in Marsala on a blustery January afternoon, and the wines keep coming.

It is a kaleidoscope of colours, aromas, textures and flavours that testifies to the extraordinary richness of Sicily. No other Italian region can offer such diversity – and Donnafugata showcases it impressively.
