FRANCIACORTA DOSAGGIO ZERO "ANIMANTE L.A." BARONE PIZZINI

The first organic Franciacorta. A wine that makes the territory its strongest ally, and from it draws the uniqueness and character that distinguish it. Organic viticulture is the natural destination of a journey aimed at seeking the maximum representation of a territory. Respect for nature is the necessary condition to obtain from it fruits full of life and great expressive potential. The balance between man and nature is a prerequisite for a wine with a strong bond to its land, unique and unreproducible elsewhere.

The cellar was built according to the highest standards of architectural sustainability, the cellar fully reflects the ideals of Barone Pizzini: efficiency, and a minimal impact on the environment. Like a tree, it is partly internal to the earth, from which it captures energy and freshness to transmit them to the wine.

Baron Edoardo Pizzini founded a golf facility in 1927, one of the first in Italy. The female figure taken from an image of the time evokes the spirit of innovation that has always guided Barone Pizzini, today the first organic Franciacorta.

It represents the soul of Barone Pizzini because it embodies the living nature of all its vineyards. It was created to crown the long and pioneering path of renewal in the vineyard and in the cellar that sanctioned the birthright of Barone Pizzini in the organic experience in Franciacorta.
