Grappa di Ben Ryè Astucciata Donnafugata
Grappa Ben Ryé Donnafugata - Grappa from Zibibbo grapes
An excellent digestive, Donnafugata's Grappa Ben Ryé is produced from the distillation of the precious Zibibbo grapes used for the Ben Ryé passito on the island of Pantelleria. The grappa has an antique gold hue and is extremely clear; it is distinctly but not excessively sweet on the palate. The bouquet initially delivers typical citrus notes, followed by a superb aromatic array of fresh and candied fruit (citron, peach, apricot and exotic fruit) blended with a subtle aroma of vanilla.
