Since 1880 we have cultivated the best Sicilian grapes, and today we represent a reality of great tradition and experience on the island. Over the last 135 years we have acquired a deep knowledge of our territory, of the methods of cultivation of native vines and of the best techniques of vinification of the grapes.

The Pellegrino family has always personally overseen the activities in the vineyard and in the winery, and the family is still today, having reached the seventh generation, involved daily in the management of the company. A long family history made up of respect, care, love and dedication, of values handed down from father to son, which today make it one of the greatest families of Sicilian wine.
