Animante: the first Franciacorta with Erbamat
|
It represents the soul of Barone Pizzini because it contains the living nature of all its vineyards. It was created to crown the long and pioneering path of renewal in the vineyard and in the cellar that sanctioned the primogeniture of Barone Pizzini in the organic experience in Franciacorta . Animante is an “organic wine” , the result of the choice towards processing methods, in the countryside and in the cellar, aimed at ensuring the maximum representation of the territory. In the vineyard, only substances of natural origin are used. Furthermore, Biodiversity is encouraged to allow the balance between every form of life, both vegetal and animal. |
