The winery near Palermo on the Italian island of Sicily was founded in 1824 by Edoardo Alliata di Villafranca. After being owned by the region for a long time, it now belongs to the huge Illva Saronno group of companies. No DOC wines are produced. Around 830,000 cases of wine are produced annually. The grapes are delivered in large quantities from central and western Sicily. The two dry IGT wines "Corvo Rosso" (mainly Nero d'Avola) and "Corvo Bianco" (mainly Catarratto), which are among the best-known Sicilian brand wines, account for the largest share of production. Other wines are the white "Colomba Platino"(Inzolia and Grecanico Bianco), the barrique-aged red wine "Duca Enrico" (Nero d'Avola), as well as the barrique-aged Bianco di Valguarnera (Inzolia).
