Donnas

Nebbiolo from Campania. Southern Italy's unexpected take on a northern classic.

Donnas sits in Campania, in the south of Italy, where Mediterranean warmth and volcanic soils shape distinctive wines. The winery works primarily with Nebbiolo, a grape more commonly associated with the Alpine north—a choice that yields wines of unexpected character in this warmer context. Vallée d'Aoste Rouge, their flagship expression, draws structure and depth from the variety's natural tannins and acidity. Larmes du Paradis Rosé, also Nebbiolo-based, demonstrates the grape's versatility across color and style. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate, reflecting their place in serious wine discourse. The winery's focus on a single variety across distinct expressions suggests a commitment to understanding how terroir and winemaking technique shape a single grape's potential.
