Ben Ryé 2022 Passito di Pantelleria is the sweet wine that will be served on the occasion of the G7 which has just opened in Puglia (Italy).
The “Vieni in Italia con me” (Come to Italy with me) menu will be offered to the Heads of State and Government, created by chef Massimo Bottura as a real journey to discover the food and wine heritage from the north to the south of Italy.
Ben Ryé will be paired with one of the classic desserts of the Michelin three-starred chef of the Osteria Francescana, the famous “Oops mi è caduta la crostatina al limone” (Oops I dropped the lemon tart), a tribute to the flavors of the Mediterranean, prepared with Sorrento lemons, Calabrian bergamots and Noto almonds.
The name and presentation of this dessert were born from a “mistake”: the tart was about to be served when it slipped from the hands of a chef of the brigade. Hence Bottura’s intuition to serve it decomposed, to celebrate the beauty of imperfection.
Ben Ryé, the son of the wind, will certainly take care of celebrating the goodness of the food and wine match.
