The History of Sparkling Wine: Palmarès Brut Magnum in Presentation Box

The elegant two-bottle cardboard case is not just a container, but a real treasure chest guarding the sparkling soul of Tenuta Gorghi Tondi. Inside lie the fruits of an ambitious challenge begun in 2011, a year that marked a milestone for the winery: its debut in the world of winemaking. The idea behind the project was as simple as it was bold: to demonstrate the extraordinary versatility of indigenous Sicilian grapes (Grillo for the Brut version and Nero d’Avola for the Rosé version) by transforming them into elegant bubbles, capable of speaking to the world of Sicily's sparkling wine potential.

The genesis of this line's name is tied to an intimate and amusing family anecdote. Michele Sala, the company's founder, shared a great passion for Formula 1 with his daughter Clara. At that time, they were looking for a strong and evocative name in the winery to christen the new project. It was while watching a televised award ceremony at the end of a race that the word “palmarès” – used by the commentators to refer to a driver's list of victories – struck them like an epiphany. This term, of Latin origin, literally meaning “worthy of victory,” immediately seemed the perfect choice to embody the Sala family's spirit and ambition.

To win this wine “competition,” the company drew from the organic grapes of its vineyards, uniting the purity of the hinterland of the WWF Natural Reserve “Lago Preola and Gorghi Tondi” with the constant breath of the fresh, iodised sea breezes.
Today, the 2 Palmarès cardboard case encapsulates the dual triumph of this gamble. Choosing or gifting this pack means sharing the liquid story of a magnificent family “victory”, ideal for celebrating festive moments with the elegance and authentic joy that only Sicily can offer.
