Duca di Salaparuta, centered around native varietals from 3 estates, produces wines that are the finest expression of the varied soils and micro-climates of Sicily. The Duca di Salaparuta winery has been long seen as an innovator and leader of the resurgence of Sicilian wine since it’s release of the first 100% Nero d’Avlo, Duca Enrico in 1984.

The Star Collection, a new range, that transcends categories and gives consumers a touch of every day luxury and a celebration of the Italian lifestyle. The Star selections are the ideal transition from the day into the night.
