Pellegrino Dry Old Marsala Superiore Secco Sicily Italy NV 375ml Half Bottle

Pellegrino Dry Old Marsala Superiore Secco — Sicily NV

Cantine Pellegrino is one of Marsala’s oldest and most respected houses, founded in 1880 at the sun-drenched western tip of Sicily. For nearly 150 years, they have been the benchmark for what serious Marsala can be — and this Superiore Secco is the proof. Aged a minimum of two years in oxidative cellaring, crafted from a blend of Catarratto, Grillo, Damaschino, and Inzolia, it is dry, complex, and deeply Sicilian. Wine Spectator awarded it 90 points. The half-bottle format is ideal for cooking, aperitivo, or an intimate pour.

Amber in the glass with warm golden highlights. The nose is immediately compelling: iodine, dried fig, roasted almond, and singed orange peel, with a whisper of ground clove and toffee that speaks to careful oxidative aging. On the palate, it is rich, smooth, and finely balanced — creamy in texture, with intense dried fruit, a nutty core, and a long, lingering finish of clove and orange peel.

🇮🇹 Wine Spectator 90 — Dry, complex, and deeply Sicilian. A serious fortified wine that rewards both the curious and the connoisseur.
