About

The history of Marsala wine coincides with that of the Pellegrino family. Since 1880, today as it was in the past, Pellegrino maintains alive the Marsala tradition on the western strip of the island. This area’s low rainfall, hot temperatures and dry winds make treatments unnecessary. Over the last 135 years Pellegrino have acquired a deep knowledge of the territory, of the methods of cultivation of native vines and of the best techniques of vinification of the grapes.

The Pellegrino family has always personally overseen the activities in the vineyard and in the winery, and the family is still today, having reached the seventh generation, involved daily in the management of the winery.

Tasting Notes
