The Duca di Salaparuta Group, gathered together by the Reina family, consists of three historic wine brands (Duca di Salaparuta, Corvo, and Florio) and today constitutes the largest private wine group in Sicily. First produced in 1824, Corvo has been a daring classic for two centuries focused on personality and pleasure for everyday moments, a symbol of the Sicilian lifestyle. In 1824 Giuseppe Alliata, who was Duke of Salaparuta, Prince of Villafranca, and Prince of the Roman Empire, was the first to decide to produce a wine whose quality outweighed the big and powerful wines that were present in Sicily at the time — this was the birth of Corvo. A huge oenological development, for the first time in the history of the island, wine was no longer sold in bulk but was valued and sold in bottles, laying the foundations for future trade. Giuseppe’s son, Duke Edoardo, focused on making wines that were more pleasurable, working in the vineyards rather than just the cellar.

Currently, the Corvo grapes come from a series of suppliers from all over Sicily. Carefully monitored by technicians in the cellar, all production processes, from the arrival of the grapes in the winery to the storage of the finished product, are fully automated and monitored by cutting-edge technology that ensures quality and traceability of the product. This technology has become the detailed diary of the oenologist, guaranteeing balanced maceration, a controlled temperature during fermentation, complete sterilization of the tanks after processing, and efficient supply chain bottling. It allows Corvo to minimize production anomalies, therefore protecting the consumer and offering the very best expression of each territory.

Committed to environmental, social, and economic sustainability, the Duca di Salaparuta Group is the first company in Sicily to obtain two sustainability certifications: VIVA and Equalitas. Corvo has a history of almost 200 years, starting in Sicily then reaching across the whole world. Unorthodox procedures, research, and meticulous care feed the unmistakable quality of Corvo wines.
