Cantine Pellegrino Marsala Vergine Soleras

Cantine Pellegrino is a historic name in Italian viticulture, specifically renowned for its deep roots in the production of Marsala wine. Founded in 1880 by Paolo Pellegrino in the city of Marsala, Sicily, the winery has played a pivotal role in preserving the traditional methods of producing this unique fortified wine. The Marsala Vergine Soleras shown here is a dry (secco) variety, aged for at least five years in oak barrels using the Solera system, which involves a fractional blending process to ensure consistent quality and complexity.

Manufacturing takes place exclusively in Sicily, Italy, specifically in the western part of the island where the microclimate is ideal for the Grillo, Catarratto, and Inzolia grapes used in production. The winery remains one of the largest and most influential family-owned businesses in the region, maintaining its authentic Sicilian heritage while exporting to markets worldwide, including the Netherlands. Ownership has remained within the Pellegrino family for generations, ensuring that the brand continues to operate with a focus on traditional craftsmanship and territorial identity.
