The jewel in the Carlo Pellegrino crown are the dessert wines from the island of Pantelleria, a volcanic outcrop of black lava rock situated off the arid Tunisian coast and is Italy’s southernmost DOC region. Pellegrino has invested over £2 million in the construction of the winery here.  

The Passito is made with 20% sun dried grapes added to the must, the result is an elegant and complex tasting wine; delicious over ice cream!
