In 1927 Baron Edoardo Pizzini founded one of the first golf courses in Italy. The Franciacorta Golf 1927, with its feminine figure in the style of that era, evokes the spirit of innovation that has always guided Barone Pizzini, which is today the first organic Franciacorta wine. A Franciacorta, delicate and captivating, velvety but with character.
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.
