Pellegrino 1880 Marsala Fine Italia Particolare Semisecco is an elegant and finely balanced Marsala that reflects the centuries-old tradition of Marsala production in Italy. Produced in Sicily, this Marsala is made from carefully selected grapes of typical Sicilian varieties. The Marsala is aged for 12 months in oak barrels, giving it subtle oaky notes and depth. It then undergoes approximately three months of bottle ageing to further refine the aromas and enhance the wine’s complexity. This semi-dry Marsala (Semisecco) has an alcohol content of 17% vol. and is bottled in an elegant 0.75-litre bottle, which is ideal both for enjoying on its own and as a versatile ingredient in cocktails and culinary creations.

Pellegrino is one of the best-known brands in Marsala production and stands for excellent quality and artisanal craftsmanship. The 1880 Marsala Fine Italia Particolare Semisecco demonstrates the producer’s masterful craftsmanship and commitment to creating a product that both respects tradition and meets modern standards of taste and quality. This Marsala is characterised by its harmonious sweetness and subtle aromas of dried fruit, nuts and caramel, which are perfectly complemented by its ageing in oak casks.
