The first Organic Franciacorta
A wine that makes of the territory its strongest ally, and from it draws the uniqueness and character that distinguish it.
1998 – 2019
Over twenty years of Organic Viticulture
Organic winemaking is the natural culmination of a quest to achieve the greatest expression of land. Respect for nature is the best tool for obtaining grapes rich with life and expressive potential. The balance between humankind and nature is at the heart of wines that have a deep connection to the land where they are made. Such wines are unique and cannot be reproduced elsewhere.
Respect for the environment
The winery
Built according to the highest standards of architectural sustainability, the winery fully reflects the ideals of Barone Pizzini: efficiency, elegance and minimal impact on the environment.
Like a tree, it is partly underground, from which it captures energy and freshness to transmit them to the wine.
Beyond Franciacorta
From the lowland forest of Montenetto to the windy hills of Maremma, passing through the slopes of the Esina Valley, our commitment to organic farming extends beyond Franciacorta …
Castelli di Jesi
Pievalta
A terroir far from the Franciacorta one, also diversified by the microclimates of the two sides of the Esino, which give life to wines with different characteristics.
Maremma
Ghiaccioforte
Two plots close together but with different characteristics exert the influence of soil and exposure on Sangiovese, the prince vine.
Montenetto
Colombaroli
9 hectares of organic vineyard divided among 5 vines: Marzemino, Sangiovese and Merlot for red wines and Trebbiano and Chardonnay for white wines.

Un terroir lontano da quello franciacortino, diversificato dai microclimi dei due lati dell’Esino, che dan vita a vini dalle caratteristiche differenti.
Due appezzamenti vicini ma con caratteristiche differenti esplicano l’influenza di suolo ed esposizione sul Sangiovese, vitigno principe.
9 ettari di vigna biologica divisi tra 5 vitigni: Marzemino, Sangiovese e Merlot per i vini rossi e Trebbiano e Chardonnay per i bianchi.
