Donnafugata, `Ben Ryé` Passito di Pantelleria, 2018

One of the most appreciated sweet Italian wines in the world. Ben Ryé is the luscious “passito” sweet wine from the little island of Pantelleria where old Zibibbo vines are grown using the traditional “alberello pantesco” bush-training system.
Ben Ryé 2018 offers an extraordinary rich bouquet with outstanding aromas obtained from the dried grapes: apricots and candied orange peel. It presents delicate hints of Mediterranean scrub (maquis). The palate is very fresh and intense, balancing perfectly the sweetness followed by a long and satisfying persistence.
It matches with caramelized duck, foie gras and blue cheeses. It goes well with pastries and gourmet chocolate like gianduja. Extraordinary alone, as a meditation wine.

ABV 14.5%

Artists Label
From the Arabic "Son of the wind", which blows constantly among the grapes of Pantelleria and brings with it an intense load of aromas. The images that tell the care and effort of heroic viticulture are illuminated by golden flashes. In the background dominates the typical architecture of the island, the "dammuso", designed to collect the precious rainwater.
