Donnafugata Ben Ryé Passito di Pantelleria

Donnafugata Ben Ryé Passito di Pantelleria is a renowned Italian dessert wine produced by the Donnafugata winery, located in Sicily. This wine is crafted exclusively from Zibibbo grapes, also known as Muscat of Alexandria, which are sun-dried to concentrate their sugars and flavors. The drying process imparts a rich sweetness and complexity to the wine, resulting in a golden amber hue and an intense bouquet of apricot, yellow peach, candied orange peel, mango, papaya, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance between sweetness and freshness, with lingering notes of dried fruit, citrus zest, and aromatic herbs. Ben Ryé pairs excellently with desserts like jam-filled tarts, ricotta-based sweets, and chocolate, as well as with blue cheeses and foie gras. The wine is typically bottled in 375 ml formats and has an alcohol content of approximately 14.5%.
