WEINGUT PITTNAUER BURGENLAND PITTI

Burgenland, ‘Pitti’

60% Zweigelt, 40% Blaufränkisch

The ‘Pitti’ is a blend coming from 18 year old vines planted to sandy clay mixed with limestone. The Zweigelt is hand-harvested in mid-September while the Blaufrankisch is done in early October; all de-stemmed with two weeks of maceration. Each grape is fermented spontaneously separately in steel with natural yeasts for 10-14 days. The wine spends 12 months aging in steel and old oak and then is blended. Unfined and lightly filtered before bottling.
