The Italian Swiss Colony was a winemaking company founded in 1881 in California by a group of Italian immigrants. They chose the name "Italian Swiss Colony" to honor the Swiss-Italian heritage of some of the founders and to give the impression of European elegance and sophistication.

One of the company's most famous products was the Asti Colony Tipo, a sparkling wine made using the traditional method of the Asti region in Italy. The wine was made from the Moscato grape, which was known for its sweet, floral flavor and delicate bubbles.

The Asti Colony Tipo quickly became popular, winning several awards at international wine competitions and earning a reputation as one of the finest sparkling wines in the United States. It was also a favorite of celebrities and politicians, and it was often served at important events and celebrations.

By 1910, the Italian Swiss Colony had become one of the largest wineries in the United States, producing millions of gallons of wine each year. The company continued to expand throughout the early 20th century, but it faced financial difficulties during Prohibition and was eventually sold to a larger wine company in the 1960s. However, the legacy of the Italian Swiss Colony and its famous Asti Colony Tipo wine lives on, and the brand is still recognized as a symbol of Italian-American winemaking history.
