The Marchese delle Saline brand was born in the Trapani area and has its roots in distant times, when the great-grandfather Francesco Rallo, in 1860, moved to the Sicilian countryside and began working on the first plots of land in the Baiata district.
Since then, with Nonno Giacomo, the passion, preparation and love of doing things with the heart have been handed down from father to son over the years up to today. In those years, great-grandfather Francesco Rallo, when he wasn’t busy working in the vineyard, collected salt at the Saline di Marsala during the summer season. Being very zealous and productive, grandfather Francesco loved the taste for well done things and for this reason they gave him the nickname of “Marquis”. His story and his love for the salt pans led his grandchildren, years later, to honor their grandfather’s memory, giving the company the name of “Marquis delle Saline”.
