Pizzini specialise in the production of Italian grape varieties including Pinot Grigio, Prosecco, Arneis, Sangiovese and Nebbiolo.
Alfredo and Katrina Pizzini built Pizzini Wines based on their passions and their commitment to family and Pizzini’s Italian heritage. Their winemaking dream began in 1978 when they planted the first vines on the property, then in 1994, the first wine under the Pizzini label was produced.
