Donnafugata, `Ben Ryé` Passito di Pantelleria, 2022 (37.5cl) €25 - €50 SThe Rallo family has made wine in Marsala since 1851 and their ancient cellars tunnel beneath the city. They were one of the first families to begin making high quality table wine when sales of traditional Marsala started to decline, launching the Donnafugata label in 1983 and championing the potential of the region's native varieties. Today, Donnafugata has four estates in Sicily: a modern winery and 283 hectares at Contessa Entellina in the hills

stainless steel tanks and then blended post fermentation

Connoisseurs will recognise the texture of this wine

and are always subject to a cool breeze that blows off the Bay of Naples

Then total and natural malolactic fermentation

powdery tannins and fresh yet integrated acidity

they were the first producer to bottle a wine with the name Soave on the label

It has a fresh flavour

This estate was one of the first to plant grapes on the Gimblett Gravels in 1993

varietal wines

20% Grenache with the rest made up with Carignan and Mourvedre

there is nothing more quintessentially Canadian than this luscious luxury borne of patience and sub zero bravura
