Sicilian Family Winemaking at its Best
Renowned family winemakers Donnafugata are holding a wine dinner at Civico 47 on Thursday, 9th May at 6:30pm.
Founded in the 1980s, but with 170 years of winemaking history behind them, the Rallo family owners now produce wine from all major Sicilian sub-regions, including Mount Etna, Vittoria, Marsala, and the island of Pantelleria.
An innovative and progressive company, Donnafugata has formed a partnership with fashion house Dolce e Gabbana, and also been a pioneer of women winemakers. This is modern, forward looking Sicily!
The dinner features a full five-course menu from our head chef Matteo Zamboni, matched with seven Sicilian wines from the Donnafugata estates.
Visiting from Sicilia is Brand Ambassador Giovanni Masucci, our host for the evening together with Paolo Orso, from Donnafugata’s Australian distributor Twelvebottles.
Tickets are $225 including all food and wine.
Numbers are limited, and this event is sure to sell out quickly, so book now for this great evening.
