Cantina Pizzorin

A small family-run business. We cultivate and tend our vineyards with skill, experience, and a great deal of passion. We work with respect for people and nature. From our grapes, we produce wines of great character, well-structured and pleasantly fruity: 5 reds, 2 whites, and 1 rosé. Our wines are highly regarded and have received numerous quality certifications.

Giancarlo - Owner and winegrower

Some have called it heroic viticulture, that of Giancarlo Pestoni, who, at a radical turning point in his life, invested all his resources in the modern recovery and restoration of a remnant of the primordial wine-growing landscape of the Sopracenerino area.

The philosophy

The goal is to produce genuine, high-quality wines. We cultivate the vines professionally and naturally throughout all stages of growth, harvesting the fruit only when it has reached optimal technical and phenolic ripeness. Our ideals are love for the land, respect for people and nature, and a passion for wine.

History and passion

"We have always had a passion for good food and good wine. Our journey as winemakers and wine producers began in 1986. It was May when I lost my father, who tended the small vineyard surrounding my grandparents' house. The vines had been pruned and tied up, and I would have been sorry to abandon them, also out of respect for my father, who had cultivated them with love for years.
In September 1986, I made my first wine, and during those months, the passions of my life were born: viticulture and winemaking.
I continued on this path for several years, acquiring and working other vineyards alongside my profession as an IT specialist at a banking institute. The desire to turn over a new leaf and become a professional winemaker grew within me. In 2001, the dream became a reality, and in 2004, I realized another dream: the construction of a new winery.
I now cultivate about three hectares of vineyards and produce eight types of wine, including reds, whites, and rosés.
