So youthful and bright, the 2013 Passito di Pantelleria Ben Ryé (750-milliliter) is all about those primary aromas. An enormously fragrant grape like Zibibbo has plenty of those to go around. Fresh fruit tones of nectarine and floral tones of jasmine and honeysuckle appear upfront. Passito perfumes of candied apricot, peach cobbler, zesty orange peel, Moroccan preserved lemon and honey ooze forth from the bouquet in a second wave of aromatic intensity. The mouthfeel is sticky, rich and creamy in texture. Ben Ryé delivers a big dose of Sicilian sweetness on the close.

Rich and creamy, this finely balanced sweetie layers bright acidity with flavors of orange compote, candied ginger, dried fig, heather and praline. Offers a long finish of citrus and spice. Drink now through 2028. 3,330 cases made, 250 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / South / Sicily / Passito di Pantelleria Select to Add
