Cantine Pellegrino, Sicilian wines since 1880

A date, that of 1880 , deliberately reported in the company logo, which marks the beginning of everything for a history that exceeds one hundred and thirty years.

The Pellegrino Cellars were founded in 1880 by the notary Paolo Pellegrino who, together with his son Carlo, chose to invest in the wine sector, focusing on the Sicilian lands of Marsala.

Since then, entrepreneurial wisdom and family ties have led to the sixth generation currently involved in running the company, with Maria Chiara Bellina and Sebastiano Renda recently joining the team.

There are one hundred and fifty owned hectares of vineyards, to which are added the same number of rented ones, for a large production, which exceeds six million bottles per year; with three distinct operating units, Cantine Pellegrino currently constitutes a joint-stock company which, with its own range of labels, covers every market niche, maintaining the quality standards of its wines very high and satisfying the most demanding consumers.

Cantine Pellegrino, a historic company from Marsala now in its seventh generation, has always had a great tradition and experience in the production of aromatic wines, produced with grapes grown in the province of Trapani.

This area is the most suitable for the cultivation of aromatic varieties such as Zibibbo, Moscato and Malvasia, thanks to the unique pedoclimatic conditions that are created here, determined by scarce rainfall, mild climate, intense light and above all exposure to intense winds. , guaranteeing the healthiness of the grapes and therefore the highest quality levels.

They are wines whose sweetness is determined right from the start by the high quantity of sugars present in the grapes, which thanks to the high temperatures concentrate in the grape, making the wines a sip of intense and long-lasting pleasure.

The freshly harvested grapes are processed by the expert hands of Enrico Stella, one of the three oenologists who in Pellegrino are responsible for the production of fortified wines and Marsala, the wine which rests for long years in large oak barrels, becoming the unique and rare product that we all know.

The fortified wines are warm, soft and release all the strength and pleasantness of the island in the glass.

Cantine Pellegrino with its fortified wines, Marsala and Pantelleria wines is the Italian leader in the production of dessert wines, ideal to be enjoyed alone or at the end of a meal, accompanying a good cigar, a good read or an evening with friends.
