2024 proved to be a particularly positive year for Cantina Pizzolato (Settimo Pizzolato Holding), with significant results in terms of growth, innovation and
sustainability. The 10 million bottles distributed, with an increase of 8% compared to 2023, see 80% represented by sparkling wines, while the remaining 20% is made up of still wines, among which the Pinot Grigio DOC Venezia stands out in particular.
The turnover exceeds 26 million euros, marking the highest result in the last six years, with an EBITDA of 15%, up 3 percentage points compared to 2023. This
result was favored by a slight decrease in the cost of glass, but above all by the success of an innovative format: the 200 ml mini bottle, which now represents 20% of the production of sparkling wines. In line with the Ready-To-Drink trend, single-serving wine is confirmed as an ideal choice for quick lunches or for those who want a small quantity without having to open a whole bottle.
In 2024, exports will continue to be the company's main growth driver, with 93% of production distributed in over 45 countries. Among the key markets, the United States stands out, where Pizzolato organic sparkling wines hold the leadership in the segment:
“Pizzolato is the #1 Cumulative Organic Sparkling in the US” (Nielsen data).
It is precisely in the US market that the company has decided to invest in the development of no-low alcohol wines. Starting from April 2025, two new dealcoholized sparkling wines (white and rosé) with an alcohol content of 0.0% will be available, which will be added to the range of low-alcohol sparkling wines "Ottavio" (8% vol.), particularly appreciated by Finnish consumers thanks to their widespread distribution in the large
local organised distribution. The company has allocated an investment of 1 million euros for the construction of a new dedicated cellar, ready to respond to the
growing demand in the market for dealcoholized wines. This is part of a five-year strategic plan focused on expanding distribution, both globally and nationally.
“We have been able to interpret market demands, focusing with conviction on organic and sustainability from the beginning, when they were not yet considered key values.
Today, the market rewards those who continue to invest and innovate without compromise, and we want to be protagonists of this transformation,” says Settimo Pizzolato, President and CEO of Cantina Pizzolato.
Many projects, but one common denominator: sustainability. A central element of the company strategy is the Decarbonization Plan, which will be included in the next sustainability report. The plan, supported by the figure of the Sustainability Technician,
inserted in 2024 to guide the analysis and implementation of strategies aimed at reducing environmental impact, it provides for concrete and measurable actions. Among these, the reduction of the weight of bottles to 570g for sparkling wines and 400g for still wines, with a significant reduction in CO2 emissions related to production and transport, in addition to the expansion of the photovoltaic system to increase energy self-sufficiency
of the company.

The hospitality sector is developing both in Treviso and Siena, where investments have been made in technology and data analysis to continuously improve the experience
of visitors. A further important investment concerns the expansion of the tourist offer in the Tuscan estate Casale Terzo, acquired in 2021, confirming Pizzolato's commitment to the enhancement of this territory. In addition to tastings, Casale Terzo
will soon offer a complete tourist experience, thanks to the existing agri-campsite and a new accommodation facility.
2024 has consolidated Cantina Pizzolato's position as a point of reference in the organic and sustainable winemaking panorama. With a vision always oriented
to innovation and quality, the company is ready to face the new challenges of the global market.
