Almost Like Swords into Plowshares...
Originals filled with character in just 8,000 bottles per year
The history of the Pitznerhof in Cardano is almost like the story of beating swords into plowshares. The name “Pitzner” is a corruption of “Büchsner”,
referring to someone who makes shotguns who was active earlier at the
farm. So for both pacifists and gourmands, that is good news, since at
the Pitznerhof, they turned their back on tradition and made wine
instead of weapons.
The brothers Markus and Thomas Puffare responsible for the wine production at the impressively 700
year-old Pitznerhof in Cardano at the entrance to the Valle Isarco.
Their farmhouse lies at an elevation of precisely 350 meters, but the
three hectares of grape growing areas are on steep slopes with deep, sandy weathered porphyry soils.
“We attempt to integrate the local conditions and the microclimate
into the production process in the best possible way,” says Markus Puff.
And in the winery, there is also the underlying principle of
working with the grapes gently. Thus the overall picture comes together
of production that is close to nature along the entire chain. “We try
to fulfill our responsibility by stressing nature as little as
possible,” Puff says.
This approach also forms the cornerstone
for the quality of the wines from the Pitznerhof in Cardano. The
product line includes Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc, Schiava, and Lagrein:
potent, fine-structured white wines with pleasant freshness and a fine
mineral-rich quality, but also spicy, pleasantly fruity, and lively
reds.
