Merchant's description
Donnafugata Ben Ryé 2023 is a legendary Passito di Pantelleria from the volcanic island of Pantelleria made from sun-dried Zibibbo grapes. This 2023 release is a concentrated nectar, offering intense aromas of apricot, candied orange peel and Mediterranean herbs. It balances its profound honeyed sweetness with a refreshing acidity and a distinct mineral salinity, resulting in an extraordinary sense of poise.
