Donnafugata Ben Ryé Passito 2023 is one of Italy’s most celebrated sweet wines, produced on the volcanic island of Pantelleria off the southwestern coast of Sicily. Crafted from carefully sun-dried Zibibbo (Muscat of Alexandria) grapes, Ben Ryé is renowned for its extraordinary aromatic intensity, richness, and remarkable balance between sweetness and freshness.
The name “Ben Ryé” translates to “Son of the Wind,” paying tribute to the constant sea breezes that shape the vineyards of Pantelleria and contribute to the wine’s distinctive character. The 2023 vintage showcases the hallmark elegance of this iconic Passito di Pantelleria, offering layers of dried fruit, citrus peel, honey, and Mediterranean herbs with exceptional persistence and complexity. Widely regarded as one of the benchmark sweet wines of Italy, Ben Ryé is both luxurious and beautifully refined.
