Rather than pair this wine with a Sicilian dessert, serve it as the Sicilian dessert. The 2016 Passito di Pantelleria Ben Ryé is a radiant and beautifully fragrant edition with white raisins, honey, maple syrup, brown sugar, caramel, preserved lemon, dried sage, apricot and sea salt. I could go on. The wine is light on its feet thanks to that crisp acidity, yet it has the volume and richness to coat your palate in all its luscious glory. The whole package is explosive. (ML)

Made from 100% dried Zibibbo grapes, this classic dessert wine offers intense aromas of mature apricot, chestnut honey and orange marmalade. The fresh, balanced palate doles out ripe fig, date, lemon jam, tangerine zest and a touch of bergamot that persist into the long lingering finish. (KO)

Lovely nectarine, apricot, mango and tangerine aromas. This is luscious and dense, with beautifully sweet and pure yellow and orange fruit. Honey and apricots all the way. What a treat.
