Passito

Bright amber yellow, the nose expresses a wonderful olfactory profile composed of notes of apricot and peach, dried figs and honey, aromatic herbs and mineral notes. Intense and bewitching aromas, solar and Mediterranean, which open to an immense taste for complexity, perfect in the fusion of sweetness, flavor and softness. Very long, interminable, poignant. Strictly at the end of a meal, “Ben Ryé” is a perfect accompaniment to blue or very aged cheeses and foie gras. Also excellent on ricotta desserts and dry pastries.

A passito that contains the essence of Verdicchio, what is most holy in the saint: for this reason the derivation of the name from the expression Santa Sanctorum. The Passito Wine is the result of the processing of dried grapes in the vineyard, which retain only the pure soul of the Verdicchio grape, and which then ferment slowly in small oak barrels.

Golden yellow tending towards amber. On the nose yellow flowers, candied fruit, peaches in syrup and pine nuts. Soft on the palate, tending to sweet, allowing apricots and baked pears, notes of vanilla and a slightly almond finish. Serve at 14 ° with dry sweets, almond paste, cheeses or cheesecakes, foi gras or alone as a meditation wine. Alcohol: 14.5% vol.

Ben Ryé Donnafugata is one of the most famous Sicilian passito wines in Italy and in the world, which has become a paradigm of Passito di Pantelleria. Its name in Arabic means "daughter of the wind", an epithet attributed to this Mediterranean island, struck by winds that blow on the bunches of grapes and on the crops, bringing with them intense and very characteristic aromas , the same ones we find in wine. The image that decorates the label is created by the designer Nicola Vitale and illustrates the work and effort of the winemakers in this area, illuminated by intense sunlight, with the 'dammuso', a typical architecture of the island in the background.

Intense golden yellow with amber reflections. The nose reveals elegant aromas of ripe fruit, candied orange and a note of acacia honey.

At the end of the meal, it is enhanced with small cream-based pastries but also with pies and biscuits.
