One of the most appreciated sweet Italian wines in the world

Ben Ryé 2017 offers an extraordinary rich bouquet with outstanding aromas obtained from the dried grapes: apricots and candied orange peel . The palate is very fresh and intense , balancing perfectly the sweetness followed by a long and satisfying persistence .

It matches with caramelized duck, foie gras and blue cheeses. It goes well with pastries and gourmet chocolate like gianduja. Extraordinary alone, as a meditation wine.

Harvesting Manual harvesting of grapes into crates with careful selection of the grapes in the vineyard. The harvest of the grapes for the production of Ben Ryé began on 17 August with the grapes destined for withering.

Yield per hectar 4 - 5 t (1.4 – 1.6 t/acres)

Vinification Fermentation is made in stainless steel at controlled temperatures; the dried grapes – added to the fresh must in several batches – are de-stemmed and selected by hand. During maceration, the dried grapes release their extraordinary legacy of sweetness, freshness, and a very personal aroma.

Ageing Aging takes place in stainless steel for 7 months and at least 12 months in bottle before being released to the market.
