“It all began in 1880, when the notary Paolo Pellegrino, a passionate wine grower, founded the winery destined to become one of the most important in Sicily”

There is no great novel without a true Once upon a time. And to tell the story of the Pellegrino Wineries, we need to go back to the past, retracing more than a hundred and thirty years of experience in vineyards and wineries; narrating the continuous story in which passion and family commitment intertwine.
