Donnafugata
Ben Ryé Passito di Pantelleria Zibibbo
Pantelleria, Trapani, Sicily, Italy
After the Italian wine earlier in the night, why not finish the meal with an Italian night cap! I had the ‘15 a few weeks back and thought it was one of the best dessert wines I’ve had in recent memory.
In comparison to the ‘15, this seemed quite oxidized. More so than expected. Darker in color with a sherry like color, losing its typical gold color. Aromatically, they were almost the same...roasted and honeyed pineapple, apricot preserve and honeycomb. On the palate though, it was more nutty and caramelized cherries jubilee. Very good, but not as impressive as the ‘15.

One of Italy's great white wines. Intense ripe peach, fired apricot sugared blood orange rind. Palate is sweet w extremely bright waxy honeycomb flavors and mouthwatering acidity & extraordinary length on palate.

Drank for the first time a passito di pantelleria in the obereggen during our holiday. Very nice desert wine, maybe a little bit too sweet for my liking.
