Sciaranera Pinot Nero

The exceptional history of Duca di Salaparuta began in 1824 with the man himself, Giuseppe Alliata, Duke of Salaparuta.

The Alliata family, inspired by French techniques, built a new tradtion for winemaking in Sicily and really put the island on the map in the world of wine. They ran the winery up until 1961, continuing to strive for excellence and innovation. Duca di Salaparuta is now run as one of three under the wider Duca di Salaparuta group by the Reina family who continue this legacy. As Sicilian frontrunners in sustainability and ethical practices, their ethos is all about preserving the terroir and creating wealth and opportunity across Sicily.

Duca di Salaparuta set themselves up for a challenge choosing to farm the land on the slopes of Sicily’s famous volcano, Etna. This unforgiving landscape is home to unique soil and a particular microclimate that makes it the perfect place to grow red grapes.
