Pellegrino 1880 is one of Sicily’s oldest and most renowned wineries. Founded in 1880 by Paolo Pellegrino in Marsala, a town famous for its eponymous wine, the company quickly made a name for itself producing Marsala wines that are among the best in the world. The Pellegrino family has been involved in winemaking for over six generations, passing down their passion for wine from one generation to the next. Today, Pellegrino 1880 embodies a perfect blend of tradition, innovation and sustainable winemaking, capturing the flavours and terroir of Sicily in every bottle.

Pellegrino 1880 places great emphasis on the quality and authenticity of its wines. The vineyards are situated in Sicily’s finest terroirs, where the Mediterranean climate and fertile soils provide ideal conditions for growing grape varieties such as Grillo, Catarratto and Nero d’Avola. The grapes are harvested by hand and processed in modern wineries using traditional methods. Pellegrino is particularly proud of its production of Marsala wines, which are made using the labour-intensive Solera method. In this process, the wine matures in a series of oak barrels over many years, giving it its complex aromas and characteristic depth. The philosophy of Pellegrino 1880 is based on respect for nature, the preservation of traditions and the pursuit of the highest quality.

Pellegrino 1880 is renowned worldwide for its excellent Marsala and Sicilian wines. The brand has received awards at numerous international wine competitions, including gold medals at prestigious events such as the International Wine & Spirit Competition and the Decanter World Wine Awards.
