CHRISTMAS AT THE WINE SHOP: GIFT IDEAS FROM DUCA DI SALAPARUTA AND FLORIO

Christmas is just around the corner, bringing the quest for the perfect gift to surprise loved ones with elegance and sophistication. Duca di Salaparuta and Florio unveil a rich selection of exclusive holiday offerings in their wine shops, perfect for those looking to give something unique and refined for Christmas 2024.

This holiday collection blends tradition, quality, and design, featuring a range of elegant gift boxes that celebrate the flavors, aromas, and culture of Sicily. Among the standout labels is Duca Enrico, the first pure Nero d’Avola and a symbol of Sicilian winemaking. Other highlights from Duca di Salaparuta include Vini di Tenuta (the “Estate Wines” Kados, Sentiero del Vento, and Passo delle Mule), enhanced with photographic labels by Mimmo Pintacuda and Emilio Murdolo, and the Autentici di Sicilia line (Grillo, Nero d’Avola, and Syrah), capturing the island’s artistic spirit with labels adorned by works of Renato Guttuso.

For Cantine Florio, the selection is equally impressive, a journey through time that starts from the new Marsala references of the “New Geography” line, declined in the Classic, Premium and Exclusive lines, to the historic Aegusa reserves. Not forgetting the Vino Florio, a white wine with a strong and identifying character, the starting point for the fortification of Marsala Florio.

In addition to premium wines and gift boxes, the wine shops in Marsala (Trapani) and Casteldaccia (Palermo) offer a variety of typical Sicilian products, ceramics, and books on the region’s art and history.

CORVO CELEBRATES 200 YEARS WITH SICILIA DOC RISERVA

by | Dec 5, 2024 | SPIRITS

CORVO CELEBRATES 200 YEARS WITH SICILIA DOC RISERVA

In 2024, to mark its 200th anniversary, Corvo introduced a special Sicilia DOC Riserva. This exceptional wine project is crafted from Nero d’Avola, a native grape variety grown in central and southern Sicily, and represents a meticulous journey from vineyard to bottle, where every step in the winemaking process is dedicated to achieving outstanding organoleptic quality. 

The journey begins with the careful timing of grape ripeness, laying the foundation for a bold red wine that reaches its full potential through extended maceration during fermentation. The result is a wine with 14% ABV, offering depth and character. This pure Nero d’Avola blend is created from a selection of different aging processes, delivering a wine defined by its complexity, delightful flavor, and tactile elegance on the palate.

A masterful balance of aging in concrete tanks and wood yields a blend with a lush and vibrant mouthfeel. This baroque organoleptic experience is imbued with warm notes of marasca cherry and an undeniably Sicilian soul. A perfect companion to the rich holiday table, Corvo’s Sicilia DOC Riserva is a celebration in itself, embodying two centuries of tradition and innovation.

CORVO NOVELLO: THE JOY OF NEW WINE IN PURE SICILIAN STYLE

CORVO NOVELLO: THE JOY OF NEW WINE IN PURE SICILIAN STYLE

With the end of the harvest comes Corvo’s Novello, a wine that perfectly meets consumers’ renewed interest in this category, celebrated for its immediacy and delightful appeal.

Young in production and seasonal by nature, Novello is a wine that shines during festive gatherings, whether with family or friends, blending tradition with the vibrant Sicilian lifestyle: cheerful, colorful, and full of fun. Made from native red grapes grown in central and southern Sicily, it returns to glasses and holiday tables, bringing the joy of new wine to life while celebrating the pleasure of togetherness.

Traditionally, Novello wine marks the end of the agricultural year, carrying with it hopes and expectations, and highlighting a profound connection to the land’s culture. In 2024, Sicily’s harvest reflected the impacts of climate change, particularly reduced rainfall in recent months. Nevertheless, the anticipated quality of this simple yet not ordinary wine remains uncompromised. With a low alcohol content and an engaging sip, it vibrates with flavors of marasca cherry, blackberry, and black mulberries.

Corvo Novello is crafted using freshly harvested grapes and the specific vinification techniques required for this style: carbonic maceration, gentle pressing, and a brief fermentation at controlled temperatures.
This wine is a true celebration of tradition, and Corvo once again delivers a quality product, staying true to the essence of its first vintage in 1992. Today, as then, it is a contemporary red that harmoniously blends native grapes, craftsmanship, and contemporaneity.
