The "Ben Ryè" Passito di Pantelleria from Donnafugata is one of the most outstanding examples of natural sweet wine produced in Italy. Available in MAGNUM size, this wine is renowned for its intensity and unique aromatic complexity, capturing the essence of the island of Pantelleria.

"Ben Ryè" is made exclusively from hand-picked and carefully selected Zibibbo (Moscato d’Alessandria) grapes. The production involves a sun-drying process that concentrates sugars and aromas, followed by a slow fermentation and maturation that takes place in large oak barrels.

The wine has an intense golden amber color. On the nose, it presents a rich and complex aroma with dominant notes of dried apricot, figs, acacia honey, and intriguing hints of aromatic herbs and sweet spices. On the palate, it is wonderfully balanced: the natural sweetness is perfectly offset by a lively freshness, leading to a persistent and aromatic finish.

The "Ben Ryè" MAGNUM is a wine that offers an extraordinary tasting experience, ideally paired with desserts such as fruit tarts or blue cheese. Moreover, thanks to its presentation in the MAGNUM format, it serves beautifully as a centerpiece during special celebrations or as an exquisite gift for wine lovers.

Serve slightly chilled, at about 12-14°C, to enhance all its layers of flavor and aroma. This Passito di Pantelleria is a testament to Italian wine excellence, enchanting with every sip.
