Donnafugata 的意思是「逃走的女人」,源於著名的義大利小說《豹》中的女主角,而其原型即奧地利哈布斯堡貴族之女Maria Carolina。
Maria Carolina 於16 歲時嫁給義大利波旁皇族費迪南多四世,19 世紀初期為逃離拿破崙軍隊前來西西里,當時的避難所即位於現今酒莊附近。
Donnafugata 將這段歷史化為一張畫,因此酒莊生產的酒瓶上皆可見到一長髮隨風飄揚的女人肖像。
Mille e una notte(一千零一夜)酒標上的Santa Margherita Belice 皇宮即皇后在西西里島的避難之處,同時也是《豹》的作者 Tomasi di Lampedusa 喜愛之居所。酒莊女主人Gabriella Anca Rallo 將皇宮畫像與一千零一夜的星空結合,完成此一優雅酒標。
而我,資深夢幻美少女,因為浪漫的酒標和酒名非要到此一訪。
沒想到這支旗艦酒款居然成為阿莫先生最愛的紅葡萄酒之一,而我卻被另一高級甜酒Ben Ryé(風之子)迷得暈頭轉向。
我們參加了酒莊的品酒之旅,包括了解酒莊沿革與釀酒風格、參觀酒窖,以及品酒,最後當然送進商鋪... ...消費。
當天我們還拜訪另一酒莊Florio,因為時間無法配合,沒有參加品酒會,而只是到商鋪購買瑪莎拉酒。其實,在荷蘭的Hanos 就可以買到Florio 這兩支現代酒款,Baglio Florio 和Donna Franca,但是來瑪莎拉城購買瑪莎拉酒對我而言像是一場甜蜜派對,我無法抗拒前來赴約。
來到瑪莎拉,別忘行囊裝瓶瑪莎拉。
酒莊主樓。
開心的熊。
參加品酒的成員除了熊家之外,還有一對馬爾他小情侶。
品酒師為我們講述酒莊歷史。(許多我都早已研讀了,嘿嘿。)
酒窖。
大型品酒室... ...吧。
快樂的情侶,真養眼。

我挑了我們一致喜愛的第一支9 瓶,第三支甜點酒3 瓶(阿莫先生不喜歡甜點酒,所以算是我的私房酒),酒廠會安排寄送至荷蘭。
而第四支Ben Ryé 2008 Limited DOC 是我的最愛,每一瓶都由木盒單獨包裝,因此我挑了3瓶,裝在行李箱中跟我們一起回荷蘭。
第四支Ben Ryé 2008 Limited DOC 是我的最愛,每一瓶都由木盒單獨包裝,因此我挑了3瓶,裝在行李箱中跟我們一起回荷蘭。
