Cantine Pellegrino Passimora is a vibrant Sicilian red wine that captures the warmth and character of the island. Crafted from Nero d'Avola grapes that are gently dried in the Sicilian sun to concentrate flavour, it delivers a rich, fruit-driven style with real charm and persistence. A superb introduction to what western Sicily does best.

Why You'll Love It

Passimora is the kind of wine that wins people over immediately. The partial drying of the grapes, a technique that intensifies the fruit and transfers aromatic compounds from skins to pulp, gives this wine a depth and richness that belies its price. Soft tannins, a warm texture, and a long finish make it endlessly drinkable, whether with food or on its own.

Vineyard & Production

The Nero d'Avola grapes are grown in western Sicily on Terra Grande soils, a silty and clayey base rich in minerals. Vineyards sit at altitudes from sea level up to 200 metres, benefiting from warm temperatures and cooling winds that preserve freshness and aromatic intensity. After harvest, the grapes undergo a gentle sun-drying process before a long, thermo-regulated fermentation. The wine is then aged for 4 months in wood to add structure and complexity.

Tasting Notes

Deep red in colour. The nose offers delicate aromas of red fruits and pomegranate, with sweet notes of dried plum and candied fruit. On the palate, it is soft, warm, and persistent, with gentle tannins that provide balance and elegance through to a long, satisfying finish.

Perfect Pairings

Pairs beautifully with cured meats, seasoned and fresh cheeses, tempura vegetables, and hearty stews. Also excellent alongside grilled lamb, slow-cooked ragus, or a classic Sicilian caponata.
