It all started when two college friends, Riccardo Gagliardi and Arsen Zadoyan, found an old vine Areni vineyard in the Vayots Dzor region, established a winery and called it Rikars (Rik for Riccardo and Ars for Arsen). Riccardo and his family have been making wine in Tuscany for few generations, so he brought his winemaking skills, while Arsen brought local know how. Davit is one of the two wines they are making and they are making them very well.

2017 Rikars Davit is made of 100% Areni grape varietal sourced from 30 to 100-year-old vines from Vayots Dzor region at an altitude of 4000 feet above sea level.
