Barone Pizzini

Barone Pizzini is a wine estate in Franciacorta, founded by brothers Enrico and Bernardino as the Amministrazione Agricola Pizzini. In 1971, Baron Giulio Pizzini Piomarta produced the first bottle of Franciacorta Barone Pizzini. Entrepreneurs joined the ownership in 1993, laying the foundations of the present estate.

Its 30 vineyards span nearly 60 hectares across different parts of Franciacorta, at altitudes of 200–350 metres. Organic viticulture began in 1997, followed by the first organic Franciacorta from the 2002 harvest. In 2007, a new winery opened, built on green-building principles and designed by architect and founding partner C. Gasparotti. In 2021, it produced its first Franciacorta with Erbamat, an ancient grape native to Brescia. Its wines include Golf, Animante, Animante L.A., Naturae, Satèn, Rosé and Bagnadore.
