VAT included
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.
