Pellegrino Bip Benjamin

The BIP Benjamin marsala is named after the English trader Benjamin Ingham. He settled in Palermo (Sicily) in 1806 to import wool from England. Benjamin soon became acquainted with the fortified wine marsala, after which he decided to export marsala to England and other markets. BIP stands for Benjamin Ingham Palermo.
The Grillo, Catarratto and Inzolia vines are on sandy soil, on the coastline of Marsala and Petrosino. Here on the west coast of Sicily, there is a Mediterranean climate with mild winters, little rain and very hot and windy summers. Under these conditions, harvesting takes place from mid-September, when the grapes are very ripe. The cold maceration precedes the fermentation which is stopped with brandy aged 5 years to a strength of 18%. The marsala is then aged for more than 4 years in 50 hl and 80 hl oak barrels.
