Pitti opens with an intense expression of black berries, ripe black fruits with hints of black pepper. Fruity, elegant, and crunchy attack, with notes of blackberries followed by a long dry peppery finish. Moderate acidity and a touch of tannic grip on the finish, this wine can be both serious and playful, but no doubt a great value.
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.
