As celebrity collaborations with wine and spirits brands proliferate (think Lady Gaga/Dom Perignon, and Bruno Mars/Selva Rey Rum), a new and exceedingly chic partnership has emerged just in time for fashion month.
Donnafugata, the Sicilian, family-owned winery founded in 1983, and Dolce & Gabbana, the luxury fashion house founded in 1985 by Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, have joined forces to present the Donnafugata x Dolce & Gabbana Collection of four wines.
The stylish and delicious Donnafugata x Dolce & Gabbana Collection includes the alluring rosé Rosa, the captivating white Isolano, the elegant red Cuordilava, and the prestigious red Tancredi. Each serves as a Sicilian ambassador, evoking the color, aroma, flavors, and culture of Sicily. The two companies worked together to create beautifully designed bottles of exquisite detail that hint of Sicilian inspiration.
Donnafugata is known for its production of tailor-made wines, focused on small, prestigious productions from unique territories and vineyards across Sicily. Their colorful trademark labels illustrate the vibrant culture and storied history of Sicily in a distinctive and sensual style that makes their wines a natural choice for those drawn to the world of art—or fashion. Internationally renowned Dolce & Gabbana, known for its high-end fashions, likely needs no introduction.
While wine and fashion design entail distinctly creative processes, the two fields actually share common characteristics. Each requires a variety of raw materials. Output is dictated by the seasons. Trends are closely followed and each adapts in order to remain relevant. And finally, fashion and wine are ever enduring. The wines born of this unique partnership express a commitment to artistic excellence and creative expression.
