The Pour
1
Donnafugata Sedàra
Medium-bodied red🇮🇹 Sicily, Italy · Nero d'Avola

Named for the novel's ambitious upstart Don Calogero Sedàra, this ripe, approachable red is the new money at the old table. Widely available and fittingly unpretentious.

2
Donnafugata Tancredi
Medium-bodied red🇮🇹 Sicily, Italy · Cabernet Sauvignon, Nero d'Avola

Named for the Prince's charming, opportunistic nephew, it's polished and dark with a sunbaked Sicilian heart. Pour it for the ball scene and let it linger.

The Mood

A Sicilian prince watches his world dissolve as Italy unifies, with irony, grace and a terrible clarity. Every ballroom glitters with endings.
