2020 Pittnauer Pitti

Gerhard Pittnauer took to running his family estate at the tender age of 18 and learned on the job. 20 years on he and wife Brigitte run the vineyard along biodynamic principles, and Gerhard was recently named Austrian winemaker of the year. Pittnauer’s Pitti is an interesting blend of Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt grapes that balances generous youthful fruit against a bit of tannin grip and bright acidity. Totally opaque black dark red colour with a dark red hue. Spicy red cherry and red currant aromas intermingle with clove, earthy black olive notes and pepper. The fleshy mid weighted palate features ripe red currant and cherry fruits over some red liquorice, earthy clove and spice characters. Fine grained tannins with bright acidity and an edgy yet savoury conclusion.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
