Pellegrino Horatio
Pellegrino Horatio is a beautiful sweet wine from the Carlo Pellegrino winery on the island of Pantelleria, located between Sicily and Tunisia in Italy. This wine is made from the indigenous blend of Grillo, Catarratto and Inzolia grapes that grow on this unique island.
Pellegrino Horatio has aromas of apricots, roasted nuts and vanilla. The taste is pleasantly dry, with notes of dried figs and apricots.
The vines are planted on a subsoil of sand and clay, around the city of Marsala. 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 the addition of neutral alcohol to an alcohol content of 18%. Then reduced grape must is added to the wine. This changes the color of the marsala to amber. Finally, the Marsala undergoes aging in oak barrels for a minimum of 24 months.
Wine - Food pairing
This Passito di Pantelleria is a dessert wine par excellence and goes perfectly with sweet treats such as almond pastries, biscotti, fruit desserts and blue cheeses. It is also wonderful to enjoy neat as a sophisticated and meditative after-dinner drink.
