Uruguayan Wine Tasting with Francisco Pizzorno

Pizzorno winery was founded by Don Próspero José Pizzorno, an Italian immigrant who came to Uruguay in the late 1800's. The family owned winery is now run by the fourth generation of the Pizzorno family. Carlos Pizzorno is currently in charge, and is also Winemaking Director, and he and his children and family in run the winery. With 21 hectares of vineyards surrounding the winery in Canelones, the Pizzorno vineyards are located on a gentle slope with shallow clay loam and calcareous soils. The vineyards are managed sustainably and without the use of fertilizers. The Pizzorno winery has one of the most innovative portfolios in Canelones with Uruguay’s first carbonic maceration Tannat wine.

We're very happy to be welcoming Carlos' son Francisco Pizzorno to the store in April to host an evening tasting of 6 of his wines. These are the wines will be tasting.
