Dedicated to Donna Plautilla A. ancestor of our family who lived in the second half of the eighteenth century (1759-1809) and dedicated to all the women of Montefalco, the true guardians of the Sagrantino Passito tradition. The women were entrusted with the task of detaching the Sagrantino grapes from the stalks, the “sbacatura” for the subsequent vinification and it was a job that was done by the fire after dinner, in the cold evenings of late autumn. Images of true poetry for a wine that is itself poetry. The harvest of Sagrantino destined for drying takes place in the first days of October and is very meticulous. The clusters are treated with extreme care because they absolutely must not break, they are placed in small boxes whose bottom is covered with a layer of vine leaves (vine leaves). Only suitable bunches are harvested, those with the most sparse berries that can better withstand the long drying period on the “Camorcanne”, racks where the bunches are placed side by side, without overlapping. The drying can last even more than two months, depending on the weather conditions. Once the right sugar content is reached, the vinification is the same as for other wines: temperature control, frequent pumping over, racking, soft pressing and racking. The final wine yield is very low, only 35% of the initial quantity of grapes. Unlike the Rosso and the dry Sagrantino it does not age in wood, but in steel barrels for a period of thirty-six months. Then follows the refinement in the bottle. The bottles produced are all numbered by hand.

Obtained thanks to the drying process of Sagrantino grapes.

Very ample wine, with a great structure with a long aromatic persistence and a typical tannic finish supported by a pleasant sweetness.

Wine with great evolutionary capacities in the bottle. In fact, it can be refined in the bottle for many years, significantly improving.

This sweet wine has a unique style. The red color is impenetrable, the scent evokes blackberries, dried fruit and cinnamon, the taste is of a singular balance. In fact, the dense texture of tannins imprisons acidity and sweetness and everything is confused, creating a gustatory sensation of harmonious fullness. It is thanks to the drying of Sagrantino grapes on racks that such a concentration is obtained. Originally Sagrantino grapes were used only for the making of this sweet wine, drunk on the occasion of religious ceremonies in the villages of the area.

The nose firstly gives deep notes of dark fruit, such as blackberries, sour cherries and black cherries, overripe and jam, then followed by references to eucalyptus, tamarind, cinnamon, myrtle and cocoa.

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. In the mouth it is sweet, enveloping, pleasantly characterized by balsamic traces of spices before a finish of great persistence.
