Donnafugata, Ben Rye Passito di Pantelleria, 2023 (Case) Bodegas Manzanos smoothed with subtle Merlot flavoursBrilliant amber in colour, Ben Ry. is wonderfully fresh and complex. The bouquet is intense and fragrant aromas of apricots and candied citrus zest combine with notes of Mediterranean thyme and rosemary.
