And among the latter, several are produced organically, by family estates very invested in the preservation of the environment.
This is the case with the Pittnauers, who cultivate their vines in Gols, near Lake Neusiedl, and who produce wines full of energy.
Made from a blend of Zweigelt and Blaufränkisch, the Pitti cuvée shows lightness, radiance and delicacy. An alluring nose opens with aromas of red berries, with a hint of spice and vegetal.
Dry, super fresh and crisp, the wine is tasty, with just the right amount of light tannins. Serve chilled with pizza, cold cuts, pasta with sausage or green vegetables.
