Settimo Pizzolato
History
La Cantina Pizzolato has been an organic estate since 1991. Winemaker Settimo Pizzolato is the latest of five generations of Pizzolati who have made wine in this scenic part of north eastern Italy. With 50 hectares of his own and contracts for grapes from another 50 belonging to long-term neighbouring organic growers, Settimo runs a significant operation which is improving in quality and focus exponentially.
Regional Information
The estate benefits from the Veneto region's plentiful rainfall (average of 1200-1400mm annually) and a continental climate with cold winters and warm, humid summers. The vines are planted on pebbly soil which allows good drainage. The vineyard is farmed organically and grapes are hand harvested and carefully selected.

Vinification Details
Traditional white wine vinification with fermentation taking place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. Following alcoholic fermentation, the wine remained in contact with the yeasts for a short period to gain complexity and toasty characters. The winemaking process followed vegan practices throughout.
