Pizzolato

What Pizzolato does

Cantina Pizzolato (legal entity La cantina Pizzolato S.r.l. sb) is a family-owned Italian winery founded in 1981 in Villorba, Treviso (Veneto), that has produced certified organic wines since 1991 and obtained vegan certification in 2009 as the first Italian winery to do so. It operates two estates — the original Cantina Pizzolato in Villorba and Casale Terzo in Colle di Val d'Elsa, Siena (Tuscany) — and sells through a direct-to-consumer model comprising a physical point of sale in Villorba, a global e-commerce shop (shop.lacantinapizzolato.com), bulk wine, and a B2B services line for hospitality clients. The portfolio spans Prosecco DOC, sparkling, red, white, and rosé organic wines, plus specialty categories such as sulfite-free wines, Piwi wines from disease-resistant grape varieties, grappa, organic bitter ("Live Bio"), and olive oil, organized into eight named collections including M-Use, Back to Basic, Piwi, So Easy, Collezione di famiglia, Libellula, Casale Terzo, and H-Heroes.

The underlying production technology is conventional viticulture differentiated by EU Organic, USDA Organic, vegan, and Società Benefit certifications, with Piwi grape varieties reducing chemical inputs. The company complements production with experiential marketing through Bio Tours, custom events, and an educational blog, and runs a multi-channel digital presence (e-commerce, email newsletter, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, YouTube, TripAdvisor).

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time wine sales via direct retail and e-commerce, complemented by professional-services revenue from wine tourism experiences (Bio Tours, tastings, custom events) and bespoke wine services for business clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but is available on the e-commerce shop. The firm is privately held, family-controlled, with a registered share capital of €50,000, headcount of 11–50, and no disclosed external investors or parent company.
