Product Notes

Cantine Pellegrino's Gorgo Tondo Nero d'Avola is a Sicilian red wine packed with robust and complex flavours. Made from the native Nero d'Avola grape, it exudes notes of ripe blackberries, plums and cherries intertwined with hints of aromatic spices, delicate herbs and less intrusive tobaccos. The palate reveals a full body, robust tannins, and sustained acidity, making it an excellent wine for ageing. This mature, rustic ruby red is especially luscious, is polished on the finish, and would pair superbly with a steaming bowl of osso buco or a rich, spicy lasagna. Gorgeously intense, it's a wine not to be missed.

Tasting Notes

Colour: intense red with garnet reflections. Aroma is intense and persistent wild berries and plum notes. Flavour: soft and well rounded with dry plum notes and hints of rosemary

About the Winery

Cantine Pellegrino

Contrary to tradition, Cantine Pellegrino isn't nestled in the vine-laden hills of Tuscany, but rather on the sun-kissed island of Sicily. This family-run winery boasts a long-standing affair with the wine-making industry, beginning in 1880 and passing their knowledge through generations of Pellegrino descendants.

Perched in the heartland of Marsala, Cantine Pellegrino specialises in the production of the very same fortified wine that the city is celebrated for. Expertly combining tradition with innovation. The winery's commitment is steadfast; creating only the highest-quality wines that truly embody the unique promise of Sicilian terroir, with a steadfast focus on indigenous grapes like Grillo, Perricone, Zibibbo, and of course, Marsala.

Year after year, Cantine Pellegrino has earned prestigious accolades, further cementing its place among Italy's prized wineries. Their collection is nothing short of diverse, featuring the likes of robust reds, delightful whites, and aromatic sweet wines, not to mention the sacrosanct Marsala wines, all originating from their seven well-maintained vineyards scattered throughout the island.

Despite its considerable success on the global dais of wine-making, Cantine Pellegrino's ethos retain a quintessential Italian charm. Visitors to the winery are welcomed with warm hospitality that resonates the heartening stories of grape and ground to glass; there’s nothing quite like walking through the wind-swept vineyards, witnessing the century-old cellars, and savouring the luscious wines to appreciate their homage to the Sicilian soils.

Whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or simply wine-curious, Cantine Pellegrino is a veritable tour de force within the rich tapestry of Italy's vino landscape. The enduring passion and dedication of this family run venture shine brightly in their captivating repertoire of wines and their stewardship of Sicily's viticultural heritage.

Please note: The winery may seem distant, translates faultlessly into the rich essence of its wines that uncork an authentic slice of Sicilian life. With each pour of a Pellegrino bottle the Mediterranean's mystique comes alive, transporting one's senses to the delightful vineyards of this charming island.
