Wine for archaeology - The Donnafugata wine firm has recently signed an agreement with the Normale University of Pisa, which will partly finance the excavations that archaeologists are carrying out on the Rock of Entella. The vineyards of the firm are in the territory surrounding the Rock where, hundreds of years ago, the Elim town of Entella flourished. The agreement also foresees the institution, by Donnafugata, of the 'Giuseppe Nenci Prize', entitled to the best researcher of Elim civilisation and aimed at young researchers who intend to continue study into the site.
