Babos himself, having fallen in love with the region, founded a winery in Loncon di Annone Veneto, a name which recalls the patron saint of the small hamlet, Oswald of Northumbria.
Continued first by his daughter Bibi, the business then passed to the Zoppas Group in the 1980s, after a period of great fame which began in the 1950s.

Taken over by the Serena family in 2004, San Osvaldo has now a new lease of life, describing the territory and its values through a story of love and dedication to its wines which is directly linked to what Babos started at the beginning of the last century.

Oswald of Northumbria, the warrior king MADE saint

Living in the first half of the seventh century, Oswald became king of the British kingdoms of Deira and Bernicia after a period of exile during which he converted to Christianity. After an eight-year reign, he was defeated and killed in battle by Penda, the pagan king of Mercia. Following his canonization, he became particularly venerated in the Anglo-Saxon countries, as well as in certain areas of Northern Italy, including Lison di Annone Veneto, where he is patron saint.
