List of products by brand NETTARE DEI SANTI
The Riccardi family's winemaking history began in the late 1800s, with grapes from their vineyards being processed in the old wine cellar of San Rocco's oratory in San Colombano. Initially, the wine was for personal use or bartering.
In the late 1960s, after his father's death, Enrico Riccardi took over the business and created two important wines: Verdea la Tonsa and Roverone. In 1980, he moved the winery to a hilltop among their vineyards, making it one of the most charming winemaking realities in San Colombano. Along with his wife Giovanna, he invested in vineyard care and the company's image.
Today, their son Gianenrico continues the winemaking tradition with the same passion and entrepreneurial spirit.

In the late 1940s, Franco Riccardi, after winning four Olympic gold medals in fencing, turned the family's passion into a business. He bottled the wine and introduced it to Milanese tables, creating the brand "Nettare dei Santi," inspired by a poem by Francesco Redi.
In the 1950s, the first labels of "Nettare dei Santi," a red wine reflecting the typicity of the Colli di San Colombano, were printed. This region, rich in history and tradition, needed producers aware of its nobility to offer fresh, fragrant, and intense wines.
