Created by the founder of the Duca di Salaparuta winery – Villafranca prince and the Duke of Salaparuta, Giuseppe Alliata – in 1824, Corvo has long been considered the standard bearer of Sicilian wine. Rising to prominence in restaurants the world over, no name has been more familiar to lovers of Italian tradition than Corvo.

Now under the ownership of Illva Saronno, Corvo continues to maintain its vaunted history and long-standing tradition as a high-quality producer of wines from Sicily, with Corvo Bianco and Corvo Rosso, wines made from indigenous Sicilian grapes.

Corvo Rosso comes from a harvest of painstakingly selected Nero d'Avola, Pignatello and Nerello Mascalese grapes. A ruby red wine with an intense, complex, and ethereal bouquet, Corvo Rosso ages in Slavonia oak barrels for a period of ten months before further aging in the bottle. Corvo Rosso possesses a dry and velvety taste, which is full with ample nuances and pleasantly balanced.

Corvo Bianco is made from Inzolia, Cataratto and Grecanico grapes harvested from Sicily's finest vineyards is a clear, straw yellow wine with brilliant greenish effects throughout. Behind a subtle and delicately fruity bouquet is a fresh and lively taste. Corvo Bianco is known for its harmonic, fruit taste, and for being consistent, silky, and possessing a wealth of character.
