Tancredi 2019 Dolce&Gabbana Donnafugata 18 Liter, SALOMON, Wooden Case

Tancredi 2019 Donnafugata: great Sicilian red for collectors

Tancredi 2019 by Donnafugata, in the prestigious Dolce&Gabbana edition of 18 liters in a wooden case, is a wine designed for those seeking a scenographic, authoritative bottle with strong collectible value. It is a great red from Terre Siciliane IGT, made from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d'Avola, and Tannat, expressing a modern style deeply connected to southwestern Sicily.

Territory and wine style

Produced in the area of Contessa Entellina, in the heart of southwestern Sicily, Tancredi 2019 interprets with personality the meeting of international and indigenous grape varieties. The Terre Siciliane IGT designation allows Donnafugata to create a red with a contemporary profile, rich and harmonious, capable of uniting intensity, elegance, and territorial identity. Aging in oak and subsequent long resting in the bottle help define a mature, complex style suitable for evolution over time.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a deep ruby red color. On the nose, sensations of plum and blueberries emerge, accompanied by spicy hints of licorice and sweet tobacco. The palate is full, enveloping, and flows with an inviting drinkability, supported by very fine and dense tannins. The finish is elegant, persistent, and well-defined, with a pleasant sensation of balance between structure and softness.

Recommended pairings

Tancredi 2019 pairs naturally with red meats, roasts, game, and wildfowl, but can also accompany more structured dishes based on tuna or fatty fish. It is ideal with flavorful preparations, braises, steaks, and important second courses of Mediterranean cuisine. Its fine tannic structure and rich profile also make it suitable for contemplative tasting alongside aged cheeses.

Serving temperature

The ideal serving temperature for Tancredi 2019 is around 18 °C. In the presence of the large format, it may be useful to uncork the wine at the moment and serve it in wide glasses, to enhance the expression of the bouquet and the full opening of the sip. There is no need for special practices, but a bit of oxygenation in the glass can further enhance its complexity.
