Territory and wine style

Ben Ryé is born in Pantelleria, a Sicilian island dedicated to the production of passito wines with great personality. The DOP Passito di Pantelleria designation tells of a sweet Mediterranean wine, generous and deep, capable of expressing the richness of the sun, the sea breeze, and the island's tradition. This vertical allows for the comparison of different vintages and captures how the wine interprets over time the character of the territory and the elegant style of Donnafugata.

Tasting notes

As a vertical of a passito, the expected profile is that of a wine with a bright and concentrated color, with aromas reminiscent of ripe fruit, candied citrus, honey, and notes of Mediterranean herbs. On the palate, Ben Ryé stands out for its richness, softness, and great persistence, with a sweetness supported by a freshness essential for maintaining balance and pleasantness. Tasting the three vintages allows one to appreciate different evolutionary nuances, from youthful vivacity to more enveloping and complex tones over time.

Recommended pairings

Ben Ryé is ideal with dry pastries, almond-based desserts, fruit tarts, sweets with honey and ricotta, but it also pairs well with blue cheeses or aged cheeses with a strong flavor. It is a wine for meditation that can successfully accompany important moments at the end of a meal or enhance a thoughtful tasting alongside high pastry preparations. Its versatility makes it interesting even with creative pairings, as long as they are in harmony with its aromatic intensity.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate Ben Ryé, the ideal serving temperature is 12-14 °C. A slight chilling helps maintain balance between sweetness and freshness, enhancing the aromatic precision and the finesse of the sip. Generally, a long aeration is not necessary, but a brief opening before pouring can favor the expression of the bouquet.

The silk-screened wooden box further enhances the product and underscores its exclusive character.
