Thousand and One Nights 2019 Sicily Red DOC Magnum

Thousand and One Nights 2019 by Donnafugata is a Sicilian red wine of great personality, offered in the magnum format to best enhance evolution, depth, and important occasions. It is made from a blend of Nero d'Avola, Petit Verdot, Syrah, and other selected grapes from southwestern Sicily, in a winemaking project that combines territorial identity, elegance, and structure.

Territory and wine style

The wine comes from the Tenuta di Contessa Entellina and surrounding areas, in a hilly context between 200 and 400 meters above sea level. The clayey-loamy soils and the Mediterranean climate, with dry and breezy summers and strong temperature fluctuations, favor ripe yet balanced grapes, capable of producing intense and refined red wines. Thousand and One Nights 2019 interprets Sicily with a modern and authoritative style, combining aromatic richness, precision, and an elegant tannic structure.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it shows an intense ruby red. The aromatic profile is complex and seductive, with notes of blackberries and currants, menthol nuances, accents of black pepper, and delicate sensations of sweet toasting. On the palate, it is broad, enveloping, and well-defined, with velvety tannins and a pleasant savoriness that accompanies the sip. The persistence is remarkable and leaves a long, harmonious finish that is consistent with the character of the wine.

Recommended pairings

Thousand and One Nights 2019 pairs effectively with roasted or grilled red meats, braised dishes, game, oven-roasted lamb, and flavorful preparations from Mediterranean cuisine. It is also perfect with aged cheeses and structured dishes based on mushrooms or rich sauces. Its elegance makes it suitable for moments of meditative tasting, without the need for a complex pairing.

Serving temperature

Serve Thousand and One Nights 2019 at an ideal temperature of 16-18°C. If possible, it is advisable to open the bottle a little in advance to enhance the expression of the bouquet; in the magnum format, the oxygenation time can be even more beneficial. A large decanter is not essential, but brief aeration can enhance the aromatic profile.
