The Marco Scolaris brand today is associated with a young and dynamic company although the Scolaris family has been producing wine since 1924. Giovanni Scolaris founded his company in that year, immediately realizing the potential of this precious territory: the Collio, an area enclosed between the Julian Pre-Alps mitigated by the Adriatic Sea. The corporate logo, an unmistakable black and white stroke, aims to stylize the geological line of the gentle and mild Collio hills, the landscape that surround the company.
