Pellegrino makes this Tareni from Nero d'Avola alone, grown on clay-leaning soils at 160 metres around Salemi and Mazara del Vallo. The grapes are picked from early September, and the wine rests four months in tanks before bottling at 13%.
The 2025 opens on cherry, then red berries and a note of violet. It is intense and moderately complex, with sweet spice and a touch of liquorice behind the fruit.

Pellegrino pitches its Tareni wines at a casual lunch or a family dinner, and we would drink this one between now and 2028. Over many vintages, drinkers have given it a fair and steady score, and they pick out cherry, red fruit, blackberry and plum.
One shop on this page sells the 2025, at about £12 a bottle, so there is no price to compare here. Of that £12, about £4.99 is UK duty and VAT.

A compact view of what the Sicilia denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
Across Sicily, autumn and winter rain left good water in the soil, and the 2025 summer was mild, without excessive heat. The grapes ripened gradually and in balance, and the crop was larger than in the two years before. We would drink the 2025 between now and 2028.

Pellegrino, based in Marsala, traces its family business to 1880, and the family is now in its sixth generation. Tareni is its line of fresh, contemporary wines, pitched at an aperitif, a casual lunch or a family dinner.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Sicilia is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Sicilia falls within Sicily, covering Sicily: the whole island, from the Trapani coast in the west to the slopes of Etna in the east.

Pellegrino rests the wine four months in tanks before bottling, and the 2025 is already on sale. Little time in the cellar keeps costs down.
Sicily's 2025 crop was larger than in the two unpredictable years before. More wine to go round takes pressure off the price.
Of a £12 bottle, about £4.99 is tax: about £2.99 of UK duty on 75 cl at 13%, and £2 of VAT.
Pellegrino makes the wine at a controlled temperature. Cooling the tanks takes equipment and power, a small part of the cost.
Dishes that go with this wine
Pellegrino suggests serving this Nero d'Avola cool with a board of cured meats and cheese, and a little warmer with soups of beans, lentils or potatoes. Its freshness and pleasant tannin also suit pasta alla Norma, lasagne with ragù and grilled red meat.
Fresh acidity and pleasant tannin cut through the fat in salami and cheese, so each bite feels lighter. Pellegrino's own advice is to serve this Nero d'Avola cool, at 12 to 16°C, with a board of cured meats and cheese.
Try with: Salami · Prosciutto · Cheese board · Caciocavallo farcito
Tomato sauce is sharp, and a red with fresh acidity meets it instead of tasting flat. This Sicilian Nero d'Avola has that freshness, and Pellegrino names pasta alla Norma and lasagne with ragù on its own page.
Try with: Pasta alla Norma · Lasagna · Ragu alla bolognese · Sfincione, Sicilian Pizza · More pairings →
The protein and fat in a grilled steak or roast lamb soften the tannin of this Nero d'Avola, so the wine tastes rounder. Pellegrino lists grilled red meat and roasts among its own matches.
Try with: Steak · Lamb chops · Leg of lamb · Sunday Roast Beef · More pairings →
A thick soup of beans, lentils or potatoes is hearty but mild. A fresh, moderately soft red like this Nero d'Avola keeps pace without swamping it. Pellegrino pairs it with these soups served a little warmer, at 18 to 19°C.
Try with: Pasta e fagioli · Lentil soup · Potato and leek soup · Minestrone
Strong chilli heat makes tannin taste harsh and alcohol burn hotter. Keep this Nero d'Avola away from a fiery madras or a Szechuan dish, and save it for cured meats or tomato pasta.
Skip with: Chicken madras · Szechuan beef · Crispy chilli beef · Chicken jalfrezi · Pairing guide →
