Terroir and wine-making

The Ben Ryé Passito di Pantelleria Doc of the Sicilian winery Donnafugata is made with only Zibibbo grapes, or Moscato d'Alessandria, which grow on the Island of Pantelleria. The vines are raised with a system of tree-shaped trees, recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage. The raisins, hand-picked and selected directly from the vineyards, are added to the must must to give way to the maceration process, in which the grapes release their extraordinary sweetness and aromaticity that is poured into the wine at the time of tasting.

Notes of taste

Ben Ryé Donnafugata takes on a brilliant amber colour that recalls its precious nature. It releases a bouquet of intense and fragrant aromas of apricot and candied citrus peel, to which are added balsamic notes, honey and fig. On the palate it surprises with complexity and freshness, with a sweetness balanced by a slight acidity. It has a long and persistent finish.

Wine at the table

At the table, Ben Ryé Donnafugata is enhanced by elaborate dishes such as foie gras, caramelized duck, herborate cheeses and all the dry pastries. It is a great wine for meditation, to drink alone. The ideal temperature to serve it is 14°C.

Curiosity

Ben Ryé means 'son of the wind' in Arabic. Donnafugata chose this name for his Passito di Pantelleria because of the characteristic wind that blows between the grapevines of the island’s vineyards.
