Tancredi 2018, intense ruby red color, combines notes of fruit such as plums and blueberries, with delicate spicy hints of liquorice and sweet tobacco

Dolce&Gabbana and Donnafugata reinterpret Tancredi, the winery’s historic red known for its Mediterranean elegance. A perfect ambassador of two excellences that stand for Made in Italy, united by their unconditional love for Sicily, passion for work and attention to detail

The name Tancredi recalls one of the protagonists of the Leopard, an inexhaustible source of inspiration also for Dolce&Gabbana. In the novel and in the film of the same name, Tancredi is the favorite nephew of the Prince of Salina, precisely because of his charm and ability to adapt to changes

With a passionate and irrefutably Sicilian character, Tancredi was born in 1990 from an innovative blend for that era of a native grape variety with an international one

Dolce&Gabbana has created the coordinated image of this “revolutionary” wine, paying homage precisely to the Leopard, and in particular to the contrast between tradition and modernity that Tancredi summarizes in itself.

While gold, blue & sinuous lines of Baroque inspiration celebrate the splendor of the aristocracy now in decline, red, green and the geometric figures refer to the new revolutionary values that are emerging in Sicily after the unification of Italy and which prelude to the contemporary history of the island
