The Sarti distillery was founded in Bologna in 1885 and the company registered under the name Luigi Sarti & Figli in 1931. It produced many spirits and liqueurs, including the very popular I Tre Valetti. In 1943 during WWI, the distillery was destroyed by bombing targeting the nearby train station, and then rebuilt in 1947. Large-scale advertising campaigns, such as those for Biancosarti in the American TV series Kojac helped build the group’‘s success. Sarti and its brands were bought by Campari in the 1970s.

A Triple Sec from the Bologna-based company Sarti, which produced liqueurs, bitters and Italian brandy, founded in 1855. We estimate this bottle to be from the 1950s.
