About Winery and Wines
The history of Pellegrino is linked to that of Marsala wine. In fact, in 1880 the winery began making wine from the famous Sicilian wine in order to market it all over the world. Even today, in its historic cellars, over a thousand barriques and oak casks age the different types of Marsala for many years. The Pellegrino family has always personally managed activities in the vineyard and in the cellar, and even today, the seventh generation is involved in the company's management on a daily basis. A long family history of respect, care, love and dedication, of values handed down from father to son, which today make it one of the greatest Sicilian wine families. When you come to Marsala, from the winery's modern wine shop, called Ouverture, you enter the heart of Pellegrino, a place of hospitality, a gateway to the history of Marsala wine.
Cantine Pellegrino grows Catarratto, Syrah, Grillo and Nero D'avola on four properties with specific vocations, all managed using organic farming methods with full respect for the environment. In addition to the incredible Marsala and the estate wines made from grapes grown on the family's properties, a line of monovarietal wines is also produced here, from indigenous and international grapes grown in the area. In the alberello vineyards on the island of Pantelleria, they grow Zibibbo grapes, from which the Passito di Pantelleria is made.
