In 1770, John Woodhouse's British merchant ship was forced to take shelter in the port of Marsala. Sampling the local wine, he noticed its similarity to the Ports and Sherries that the English favored. Ever the opportunist, he brought the fortified wine back home and an industry was born. Pellegrino's dry offering is aged for two years in older French oak barrels before fortification and bottling.
