Big news marked the beginning of this our 2022. It is with great pride that we announce the acquisition of Casale III, an estate in Val d'Elsa, in the heart of the Colli Senesi that will become our new corner of paradise just outside the Venetian borders.
Previously owned by the Borella family, which has always practiced organic viticulture and olive growing since the 1970s, Casale III is the new project that has a precise goal: to diversify production, while bringing to Tuscany the same philosophy that has always characterized Pizzolato wines. Respect for nature and soil biodiversity, guaranteed and certified organic production and the highest quality of wines are the watchwords in this new family adventure as well.
A new challenge that Settimo Pizzolato decided to take on at the drop of a hat, having more than 40 years of experience in the organic world behind him and with a curiosity to discover the secrets and notions of a fascinating land, Tuscany, and of a complex grape variety full of history, Sangiovese.
"The meeting with Giovanni Borella - tells Settimo Pizzolato - historical owner of Casale, was immediately characterized by a deep and genuine respect for all the great work that has been done over the years in these wonderful vineyards. We immediately felt a deep connection with this magical place, a corner of paradise in Val d'Elsa, and with great naturalness the project of Casale III was outlined. Here our desire is to progress in a selected, small-scale organic production of Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG and extra virgin olive oil and to dedicate ourselves to welcoming guests and caring for the land, continuing with healthy and authentic agriculture. With a great sense of responsibility and a baggage filled with dreams and plans, we have therefore decided to pick up the baton of the Borella family and ferry Casale into the future."
Casale III, will officially be the home of a new Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG, named "Edoardo Pi", and an extra virgin olive oil both produced following the organic method and which will soon also be available in our online e-shop.
Happy to have shared the news and with the desire to embark on this new path always putting our values at the center, we look forward to seeing you in our new Casale III about which you can find much information in the new website and on the Instagram page.
