Viaggio tra le Stelle: Cardboard Gift Box with Passiperduti 2025 and Bell'Assai 2024 - Donnafugata

Exclusive Donnafugata Box: "Viaggio tra le Stelle" Board Game with Passiperduti and Bell'Assai

Origin and processing

The Donnafugata Play & Sip project represents a true revolution in the world of wine packaging, combining the high quality of Sicilian wines with an extraordinarily brilliant "creative recycling" idea. The beautiful shaped cardboard box is not just a container meant to be discarded, but is born with the virtuous intent of having a second life, magically transforming into a colorful space-themed interactive board game. This philosophy of creative reuse demonstrates the company's constant commitment to environmental sustainability, inviting enthusiasts not to throw away the packaging, but to keep it as a home entertainment object. The wines enclosed within come from exceptional terroirs of the warm and generous Sicily, cared for with the utmost dedication: the Grillo for the Passiperduti 2025, a sunny and bright expression of the Doc Sicilia, and the Frappato for the Bell'Assai 2024, the undisputed star grape of the Doc Vittoria, in the suggestive south-east of the island, capable of offering glasses of unparalleled freshness. A wine journey that crosses Sicilian landscapes even before making you fly high, towards the moon.

Sensory profile

The tasting of this exceptional box offers a fascinating journey through two contrasting but complementary expressions of the vast Sicilian territory. The Passiperduti 2025 (Sicilia Doc Grillo) stands out from the first glance for its marked elegance and a complex aromatic bouquet that recalls white orange blossoms, Sicilian citrus fruits, and a delicate mineral trail that brings to mind the fresh sea breeze of the Mediterranean. On the palate, it is savory, crisp, and with excellent persistence, ideal for those seeking a white wine of great harmony and structure. On the other hand, the Bell'Assai 2024 (Vittoria Doc Frappato) explodes in the glass with its captivating, brilliant, and lively ruby red color. The nose offers intoxicating notes of small red fruits, such as wild strawberries, currants, and raspberries, intertwined with persuasive floral scents of rose and violet. In the mouth, it surprises with its soft and velvety tannin, its absolutely irresistible drinkability, and a pleasantness that constantly invites the next sip, confirming itself as an extremely versatile, elegant red with a decidedly modern flair.

Usage tips and pairings

This box not only offers the opportunity to taste great wines but also promises a playful experience to be enjoyed in cheerful company. The main advice is to uncork both bottles during a carefree evening with friends, open the box, and immediately start playing. Along the way, in an exciting succession of bonuses and penalties, the game reveals the surprises the stars have in store for the participants, making conviviality the absolute protagonist of the evening. From a gastronomic point of view, we suggest pairing the Passiperduti with a refined seafood appetizer or fish-based first courses: try it with a Mazara del Vallo red prawn tartare with candied lemon zest or a dish of Spaghetti with sea urchins, pairings capable of maximizing the natural savoriness of Grillo. For the Bell'Assai, instead, we recommend an extremely tasty typical Sicilian recipe: Fresh Busiate with red mullet ragù and cherry tomato confit, or a delicate vegetable couscous. The vibrant freshness of Frappato will perfectly cleanse the palate, accompanying the dish with surprising delicacy. Serve the Grillo well chilled at 10-12°C and the Frappato slightly cooled, around 14-15°C, to fully enjoy every single aromatic nuance.
