Spritz of the Summer

Spritz of the summer

At Pizzolato, we believe that a world-class Spritz is only as good as the wine that anchors it. For a bartender, this means starting with a pure, honest canvas that enhances rather than masks your ingredients. We’ve seen our wine travel from our lush Venetian vineyards to the best bars in the world, and now we want to see it through your eyes.

We know Pizzolato is organic and delicious, but its true potential is unlocked by the creativity behind the bar. We are looking for innovators who can boldly redefine what an Italian Spritz can be. The stage is yours: show us how you can transform our bubbles into your next masterpiece.
