Born from the idea of Giancarlo Notari who gained his considerable experience working alongside Marchesi Antinori, the “Compagnia” today is a progressive wine making and distributing company owned by two partners : the Family Notari and the Marchesi Antinori. Col de’ Salici is the first brand founded in 1997. Prosecco was not so popular at that time but Giancarlo Notari was able to see in it the modern, informal, light-hearted Italian drinking style, that everyone loves and enjoys today. The grapes selected for the production of our proseccos all come from wines cultivated in the DOC and the DOCG area in Conegliano Valdobbiadene, where the highest quality of Prosecco (the “Superiore”) is produced. This, together with the use of the most modern techniques in the cellar and an elegant packaging, place Col de Salici among the truly great producer for this amazing sparkling from northern Italy.
