The
family of Conti Sertoli Salis comes from the
region of Valtellina in Lombardy, north of Milan,
above Lake Como. Valtellina is a long and wide
valley on the Swiss border which runs from east
to west, following the course of the Adda River.
Some years ago, we decided to give new life
to an ancient tradition, namely to produce and
sell the wines that were made in the cellars
of our Palazzo of Tirano. (Between 1600 and
1700, the Salis family owned almost a third
of the land of the Valtellina, and since 1665,
they have been providing wines produced in their
own cellars to the Swiss and Valtellinese nobility.)
We also restored a magnificent palazzo, the
largest in all of Valtellina.

undertones, a smooth body and lingering finish.
