The Pizzolato Winery was founded in 1985, using the experience of five generations, who had decided to live in harmony with the environment and to produce organic wine.

According to Settimo Pizzolato, ORGANIC is not a product, but a life style, a constant commitment towards the environment, a choice based on a personal growth path, where respect is the foundation of the society. That’s why all the Pizzolato Wines are rigorously organic.

A suspended boardwalk is the connection for the different architectural levels and for all the productive areas, giving, not only visually, the idea of the continuity of the wine making phases, from the vineyards till to the glass.

The building has a external cladding- filter, like a sort of “skin”. It is made by planks, vertically set. Their future oxidation will be useful to level out the building to the landscape, like the traditional rural farm houses of the Treviso country.

The winery has several openings to the outward area: some grass surfaces are the transit space between the parking and the building, while a little boards square gives continuity with the inner rooms.

The external cobbled space is used for events and other Company activities.

MATERIALS

The used wood is beechwood. The wood, Pefc certified, comes exclusively from the Cansiglio monitored Forest, where it is accurately selected thanks to an agreement with Veneto Agricoltura. It is a local product, because this forest is only 25 km far form the Itlas Productive dept. Moreover the Cansiglio beechwood is so solid and resistant that it was used also by the Serenissima Republic for its ships.

It is a complex and valued project that planned a building which is very contemporary and linear and which reflects the present and the future of the Winery. It’s a company that adapt itself to the surrounding territory, in a continuous dialogue between knowledge, respect and wellness, the principles of the organic lifestyle.
