Producer Information
Duca di Salaparuta is a Sicilian wine group based in Casteldaccia in the province of Palermo. It has three main brands: the titular Duca di Salaparuta, the value-driven Corvo range, and the Marsala estate Cantine Florio. The Duca di Salaparuta label is a collection of premium wines, mostly classified as Sicilia IGT. Grapes are sourced from three separate estates around the island – SuorMarchesa in Riesi near the centre, Risignolo in Salemi in the west and Vajasindi on the slopes of Mount Etna towards the east coast. The flagship of the Duca di Salaparuta portfolio is the Duca Enrico, a varietal Nero d’Avola. After a hand pick in the vineyard, grapes are destemmed and macerated for approximately ten days. It spends 18 months aging in barrel prior to another 18 months of aging in the cellar in bottle before release. The white counterpart of the portfolio is the Bianca di Valguarnera, an oak-fermented Insolia. Other notable wines include the Nawàri – a varietal Pinot Nero and the Ala – a dessert-style red infused with morello cherry leaves. The Corvo label also has its origins in the creation of the company in 1824, and consists of a selection of value wines under the Terre Siciliane IGT classification. Cantine Florio, founded in 1833 in the town of Marsala, focuses on Marsala wine, sweet and fortified wines including Passito di Pantelleria, and sweet Moscato spumante. The original company was founded in 1824 by Don Guiseppe Alliata di Villafranca, and remained under the ownership of the family until 1960, when it was bought by the regional government of Sicily. It was then acquired in 2000 by ILLVA di Saronno, who created the Duca di Salaparuta group.
