The Passito di Pantelleria Ben Ryè from Donnafugata represents one of the most authentic and appreciated expressions of the Pantelleria territory, a noted jewel of the Mediterranean. This naturally sweet wine is created through the drying of Zibibbo grapes (Moscato d'Alessandria), exclusively handpicked on the vibrant volcanic soil of the island, exposed to the beneficial sea breezes.

With a deep amber color, this passito seduces the nose with an intense range of aromas: notes of dried apricot, figs, wild honey, and an intriguing splash of candied citrus, blending with hints of sweet spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. On the palate, Ben Ryè is an explosion of flavors, with a perfect harmony between the sweetness of the fruit and a fresh acidity that invites another sip. The persistence is exceptional, leaving a full aftertaste with echoes of caramelized fruit.

With meticulous production, every stage is carefully managed: from the harvesting of the grapes to their natural drying in the sun, through to fermentation and refinement. The result is a wine of extraordinary complexity and depth, rich in history and tradition.

The Passito di Pantelleria Ben Ryè is wonderfully suited to desserts like Sicilian cannolis or tiramisu, as well as being magnificent to sip as a meditation after a meal. Its presentation in a 375ml bottle also makes it ideal as a precious gift or for special occasions where one wishes to celebrate with a touch of refined elegance.
