Donnafugata, Sicilia DOC (Sicily, Italy) 2016

Nov 11, 2017

By Robert Whitley

 If you’re looking for something delicious to shake up the holiday party, Donnafugata’s Lighea should be at or near the top of your shopping list. The grape variety is the little known Zibibbo, a zesty fruit bomb with an impressive streak of minerality. On the nose it’s intensely floral in the Moscato vein, but on the palate it changes direction, showing notes of orange blossom, citrus and melon. And it’s bone dry.
