The Donnafugata 2018 Passito di Pantelleria Ben Ryé shows that distinctive polished copper color that if you are a Ben Ryé fan like me, you will recognize a mile away. In fact, this celebrated Zibibbo-based dessert wine from Pantelleria always stands out in a crowd. It is one of Italy’s A-list dessert wines. Fruit from alberello pantesco vines planted in volcanic soils is left to dry under the hot island sun and pushed forward in the appassimento process, thanks to steady sea winds. The aromas are also specific to this wine with sweet honey, glazed almond, brown sugar and sun-dried fig. This particular vintage is a hair less fresh perhaps in terms of acidity, but it is very expressive to the senses and concentrated in terms of texture

The Donnafugata 2017 Sicilia Contessa Entellina Chiarandà offers very Sicilian aromas of candied fruit, orange peel and sweet apricot. There are creamy, sweet ricotta notes as well, with hints of cinnamon and fried cannoli crust. The hot vintage comes through in the heavy, waxy nature of this full-bodied white.

A sustainably made wine, the Donnafugata 2018 Sicilia Contessa Entellina Chiarandà shows some lightly toasted notes with nutty almond and pistachio, but the wine is also redolent of sweet apricot and candied orange peel. It is aged in oak, and a small part goes into cement. To the palate, the wine delivers a silky, medium-weight approach, but there is enough textural richness and sunny Sicilian concentration to approach full-bodied intensity.

The Donnafugata 2018 Cerasuolo di Vittoria Floramundi is an easy-drinking red that possesses the balance and fruit-forward style to pair with most of your favorite trattoria foods. The bouquet opens to red cherry and wild plum, and there are some faint earthy tones on the close. This is an accessible lean-bodied red to drink within the next few years.
