The wine

Description and technical sheet

Anthìlia holds a special place in Donnafugata’s history: first produced in 1983, it was the winery’s original wine. The 2025 Sicilia DOC captures the character of southwestern Sicily with fragrant fruit, lively freshness and a distinct savoury edge that makes it easy to pair with food. Its name recalls the ancient city of Entella, known as Anthilia in Roman times, while the label depicts an enigmatic woman inspired by the Elymians, the ancient people of western Sicily.

Vineyards and grape varieties

The grapes come from the Contessa Entellina estate and other suitable areas of southwestern Sicily. The blend includes Lucido, also known as Catarratto, together with other indigenous and international varieties. Most vineyards are located on rolling hills at 200–400 metres above sea level, predominantly on clay-loam soils. Dry, breezy summers and pronounced day-to-night temperature differences help shape the growing conditions. The vines are trained using vertical shoot positioning and Guyot pruning, alongside other traditional systems.

The 2025 growing season and winemaking

Well-distributed rainfall through the agricultural year, with no prolonged extreme summer heat, allowed the grape varieties to express their characteristics in the 2025 vintage. Following gentle pressing, the must undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then rests in tanks for at least two months, followed by around two months in bottle before release.

Tasting notes and food pairings

Straw yellow in colour, Anthìlia 2025 offers aromas of citrus fruit, white-fleshed fruit and delicate flowers. The palate is fruity, notably fresh and savoury. Pair with appetisers, raw or fried fish, seafood pasta, vegetable flans, fresh cheese and white meats. Serve at 9–11°C in a medium-sized wineglass; decanting is not required. Donnafugata recommends enjoying it at its best within three years.
