Cantine Pellegrino – Il Salinaro – White wine made from Grillo, one of the most traditional and characteristic grape varieties in Sicily. The name “Il Salinaro” refers to the salt workers (salinari) who work in the salt fields near the coast of Marsala, where Pellegrino is based. These salt pans also affect the microclimate and soil of the area, giving the wine a distinct maritime character. The wine is grown in Marsala in the western part of Sicily. The grapes are harvested in late August, early September. The grapes are destemmed and gently pressed to extract the must without getting bitter substances from the skins or seeds. The must is then cooled down (often to 5–10 °C) and left to stand so that cloudy particles sink to the bottom. The clarified “clean” must is then bottled. Temperature-controlled fermentation at low temperature (12–16 °C) in stainless steel tanks. The wine is aged briefly in steel tanks with its yeast sediment (sur lie), which can give a little extra texture and complexity. After a short aging, the wine is filtered and bottled.
