Cantina Pizzolato
Villorba, Treviso, Veneto
A green winery in the heart of Treviso
Among the 30 most beautiful wineries in Italy
Opened in May 2016, our winery is located in Villorba, a short walk from the historic center of Treviso and a few kilometers from the renowned and evocative Venice. A place where people, wines, ideas and passions come together in moments of encounter and pleasure related to the fruit of man's labor.
A winery always on the move, which is transformed into a great place for sharing and excitement through evenings, events and activities aimed at everyone. The design of Settimo Pizzolato pushes for greater affordability of finished products and accessibility of organic wines for all wallets.

"Whatever you can do, whatever you can dream, begin. Boldness carries within it brilliance, magic and strength. Begin now."
~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
The winery with organic roots
The architectural design combines past and future, walking in the present.
The new, modern headquarters enhances the importance of the historic villa, home of the Pizzolato family. The house has always been a symbol of hospitality and family unity, so much so that its three arches are depicted in the company's coat of arms, telling the origin of a story that contributes to the growth of an entire company and consolidates its founding principles. In line with its own philosophy, even for the construction of the winery we have chosen to make use of consultants, suppliers and, above all, local materials, that is, zero-mileage.
The building has a "skin" consisting of a cladding of wooden planks placed vertically that recall the vineyards, the oxidation of which will contribute, over time, to the integration of the structure into the landscape, echoing the traditional rustic buildings of the Treviso countryside. The winery also has numerous points of contact with the outdoors: some grass surfaces act as a transition between the parking area and the building, while a wooden plaza gives continuity to the interior.
The presence of the Villa constitutes a primary element in the composition of the elements. The office area is structured to be our representative image and has a direct relationship with the open space by having a reception area, sales point and laboratory area on the ground floor. Upstairs, moreover, a fascinating glass tunnel with no visual barrier connects the historic villa, the past, to the nascent vineyards, the future.
The wood used in the project is Cansiglio beech. The wood, PEFC certified, comes exclusively from the controlled Cansiglio forest through a selection process implemented in agreement with Veneto Agricoltura. A zero-kilometer wood as the Cansiglio forest is located only twenty-five kilometers from the production site of ITLAS, supplier of this product of excellence. Cansiglio beech also has technical characteristics of exceptional strength and resistance, so much so that it has been used since the time of the Most Serene Republic of St. Mark. A complex and sophisticated project, giving rise to a structure that is extremely contemporary in its linearity, reflecting the present and future of our winery. A structure that blends with the surrounding territory, in that continuous dialogue between knowledge, respect and well-being that are the principles of the organic lifestyle.

OUR ORGANIC VINEYARDS
The green lung of the estate
OUR ORGANIC VINEYARDS
The green lung of the estate
All our vineyards are conducted following the principles of organic cultivation. A true green lung where biodiversity is the key that opens its doors: the dragonfly is the symbolic insect of our estate, indicating a clean environment, free of chemical contamination and rich in its natural biodiversity.
Here the vine is in its habitat, with wild grasses growing around it, dragonflies, ladybugs and other insects. In this clean, living nature, the plant grows and produces balanced fruit that expresses its territory. The roots of our vines sink into the warm soil, a soil rich in skeleton and mineral elements, packed with stones dragged through time by the historic Piave River. Just from our green expanse we can see the mountains that originated them, the wonderful Dolomites.
