CORVO NERO D’AVOLA(SC)

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 the Duke of Salaparuta, Giuseppe Alliata, was the first to produce a wine whose quality outweighed the big wines present in Sicily at the time – enter the birth of Corvo. Giuseppe’s son, Duke Edoardo, focused on making more pleasurable wines, working in the vineyards rather than just the cellar. Today, Corvo grapes come from a series of suppliers all over Sicily. Carefully monitored by technicians in the cellar, all production processes, from arrival of the grapes in the winery to 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. Unorthodox procedures, research, and meticulous care feed the unmistakable quality of Corvo wines.
