Pittnauer Pitti

Learn More About This Wine

The wine represents the lake, its micro and macro climate, its surrounding landforms and their geology in all its shades. The cool winds of the Pardorfer Platte play just as much a role as the often dry and hot conditions on the heartland and the constant regulating influence of Lake Neusiedl. The Heidenboden vineyards where the Zweigelt and Blaufrankisch are grown have a diverse subsoil: some vines are rooted in loess, others in loamy sand, and still others in calcareous black earth soils. The grapes were spontaneously fermented after a relatively short contact with the mash and then aged in large, used wooden barrels for about a year.

Finely knitted, focused and compact. Ripe red berries and a gentle spice set the tone in the nose. On the palate, the aromas are embedded in a juicy and vital body, to which the fine interplay of acid and tannins give dynamism and temperament. The Pitti then flows cool and clear over the palate, leaving fruity traces reminiscent of dark cherries.
