WELCOME TO S. OSVALDO

The S. Osvaldo winery is located in Loncon di Annone Veneto, in the province of Venice, on the border with the province of Treviso and the Region Friuli-Venezia Giulia, in one of the most suitable areas of Veneto for vine-growing: this land produces the worldwide famous and appreciated Lison-Pramaggiore DOC wines. S. Osvaldo was founded in the 1930s by the Hungarian Baron Lajos Babos. Year after year, the company?s quality has grown, thus becoming appreciated for the great character of its wines proved by the prestigious awards the winery has collected throughout time.

In 2004, S. Osvaldo was taken over by Armando Serena ? the descendant of a dynasty operating in the sector of wine since the late 19th century ? the owner of the Treviso-based Montelvini and the Marche-based Valdinevola. S. Osvaldo has therefore joined one of Italy?s main wine producers. Although the winery maintains its strategic independence, such alliance allows it further to enlarge its scope and commercially expand.

Today, the winery produces about two million bottles a year and is featured in the best Italian wine shops (thanks to a network of commercial agents covering the whole country). Exports represent 30% of the company?s turnover: Anglo-Saxon countries, the US and the Far East are the main foreign markets.

S. Osvaldo focuses on the typical vines of the DOC Lison Pramaggiore area: Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Lison Classico, Cabernet and Merlot. Furthermore, over thirty years ago, S. Osvaldo rediscovered the Red-stalked Refosco which was by that time disappearing: it was therefore the first winery in Veneto to start cropping this plant in grand style, making its wine famous throughout Italy and the world.
