Vinicola Salton, Bento Goncalves, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil
This story begins in Italy in 1878 when Antonio Domenico Salton left the city of Cison di Valmarino in the Veneto region looking for better opportunities in Brazil.
He settled in the Italian colony of Vila Isabel, where is the city of Bento Gonçalves, in Rio Grande do Sul.
The company was formally constituted in 1910, when the brothers Paulo, Angelo, João, Cesar, Luis and Antonio gave a business stamp to the business of the father, the immigrant Antonio Domenico Salton, who wine informally, like most of the Italian immigrants. The brothers began to dedicate themselves to the cultivation of grapes and the elaboration of wines, sparkling wines and vermouths, with the denomination “Paulo Salton & Irmãos”, in the center of Bento Gonçalves.
A century later, Salton is recognized as one of the country’s top wineries. In the long list of achievements of more than 100 years of history, it celebrates the fact that it is familiar and 100% Brazilian. With the third generation ahead of the company, both in the Unit in Bento Gonçalves and in São Paulo, it reveals in its pictures the fourth generation Salton, that promises the same commitment and dedication with which the company was commanded until now.
