Corvo is a Sicilian legend, a storied brand with noble roots. It was founded in 1824 by the worldly Giuseppe Alliata, Prince of Villafranca, Prince of the Sacred Roman Empire, Grandee of Spain, and Duke of Salaparuta, a connoisseur who aspired to create a delicate French-style wine very different from local production of that era. Working with grapes from his own estate in Casteldaccia, his innovations led to the first release properly bottled in Sicily, Corvo Bianco.

Two Centuries of Tradition

With profound respect for nature and their raw materials, Giuseppe and his descendants worked for generations to bring out the most authentic expression of this land. They used their intimate knowledge of the region’s geography and microclimates to plant the most suitable grape varieties for each soil and climate, and applied innovations, some daring for their time, to let the fruit flourish with the least human intervention.
