Golf 1927
Franciacorta DOCG
In 1927, Edoardo Pizzini founded the Golf Club of Franciacorta in Corte Franca, one of the fifirst in Italy. Golf 1927 represents the emancipation and modern spirit of a territory and a family whose innovation has now become tradition.
Golf 1927 is an “organic wine”, the result of the choice towards processing methods, in the countryside and in the cellar, aimed at guaranteeing the maximum representation of the territory. In the vineyard only substances of natural origin are used. Biodiversity is also encouraged to allow for a balance between all forms of life, plant and animal
