Tenuta Riccardi

The Riccardi family, an ancient wine family already in the 1400s cultivated in the territories of Bobbio. The heir, Ernesto Riccardi, in 1906 realizes the winery by acquiring part of the estate of the Marquis Giorgi in Soriasco, near the medieval village.

Cultivation looks to the preservation of the territory and enhancement of the winemaking techniques traditionally used since the beginning of the last century. Plants and technologies facilitate the production process, safeguard the product from the point of view of health and hygiene up to the bottle.
