Pitzner

Falstaff Wine Guide Italy 2026

The former armoury at Karneid Castle near Bolzano still produces real grenades today; wines with a strong character. The Pitzner brothers cultivate a total of five hectares in various individual vineyards. Pitzner is a small winery that plays by the rules of nature. The wine is seen as a work of art and as food for the senses. That is why the work in the vineyard follows the cycle of nature and herbicides are not used. Rather, it is mindfulness that determines and guides the daily work. Honest winegrowers, honest wines.

Falstaff Wineguide Austria/South Tyrol 2020

The farm coat of arms quickly reveals that the Pitznerhof was more than just a farmhouse. The "Büchsnerhof" was once the armory of the nearby Karneid Castle. This is where the iron was forged and the "rifles" for the knights were made: passionate craftsmanship, even hundreds of years ago! The Puff brothers continue this tradition in their winery in a pleasurable and elegant way: through their wines! The Pitznerhof is a classic South Tyrolean family business, in the midst of a generational change. The traditional blends with the modern, creating a common flow from many channels. The wines are characterised by one idea: the young learn from the old, and the old is inspired anew. The passion for wine drives the brothers Markus and Thomas Puff forward and strengthens their determination to produce what is probably nature's most beautiful refinement product with meticulous dedication. The joy of the diversity of the winemaking profession keeps them fresh and alive. Each vintage is different in its quality and strength. Year after year, they face new challenges that help them grow. As a family business, they try to integrate the microclimate and local conditions into the production process in the best possible way. Well-coordinated and gentle processing is the cornerstone for the quality of the wines. The winemaker brothers try to burden nature as little as necessary and harmonise with it as much as possible. This gives their wines independence and their unmistakable character.
