Ci\u00f2 che era nato come soluzione d'emergenza divenne una vocazione: un'appassionante conferenza del pioniere della viticoltura <strong>Lenz Moser<\/strong> a Krems accese in lui la passione per il succo della vite. A met\u00e0 degli anni Sessanta, quando la maggior parte dei colleghi del Wagram vendeva ancora il vino sfuso o lo imbottigliava in bottiglioni da due litri, Fritsch senior aveva gi\u00e0 in assortimento cinque <strong>vini in bottiglia<\/strong>, e fu tra i primi a cimentarsi con il vino rosso sul Wagram.\n\nNel 1989 fond\u00f2 l'associazione di vignaioli \u00abWagramer Selektion\u00bb, un gruppo votato alla ricerca della qualit\u00e0 che presiedette per dieci anni.

I potenti depositi di loess dell'era glaciale, frammisti a sedimenti marini ricchi di calcare, trattengono acqua e nutrienti come una spugna naturale. Nei vigneti <strong>Steinberg, Schlossberg e Mordthal<\/strong> le viti crescono su scisto e granito, che conferiscono al <a href=\"\/it\/sorte\/gruener-veltliner\/\" title=\"Scopri i vini di Gr\u00fcner Veltliner\">Gr\u00fcner Veltliner<\/a> un'inconfondibile tensione minerale.\n\nIl <a href=\"\/it\/gruner-veltliner-ried-steinberg-1-otw-2024-fritsch\/\" title=\"Acquista Gr\u00fcner Veltliner Ried Steinberg 1.\u00d6TW 2024\">Gr\u00fcner Veltliner Ried Steinberg<\/a>, da viti fino a 63 anni d'et\u00e0 a 240 metri sul livello del mare, dimostra il potenziale di questi suoli: nessun frutto in primo piano, ma <strong>profondit\u00e0, struttura e longevit\u00e0<\/strong>. Un vino che pu\u00f2 maturare per anni in cantina diventando sempre pi\u00f9 complesso.\n\n<h2>La filosofia della misura<\/h2>\n\nNel 1999 Karl Fritsch junior rilev\u00f2 l'azienda e nel 2006 comp\u00ec il passo coerente verso la <strong>biodinamica<\/strong>, che per lui significa \u00abentusiasmo, vita, fiducia\u00bb. L'adesione a respekt-BIODYN consente un intenso scambio con vignaioli come <a href=\"\/it\/heinrich\/\" title=\"Cantina Heinrich, Burgenland\">Gernot Heinrich<\/a> nel Burgenland o Clemens Busch sulla Mosella, che condividono la stessa convinzione: suoli sani e un ecosistema intatto sono la base di vini autentici.\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-219936 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/fritsch_galerie2.webp\" alt=\"Karl Fritsch e il figlio Alexander con schizzi biodinamici\" \/>\n\nIn cantina sono appesi diagrammi disegnati a mano sulle fasi lunari, sui ritmi cosmici e sulle forze degli elementi: non esoterismo, ma base del lavoro quotidiano. La cura del suolo con <strong>compost di produzione propria<\/strong> e l'uso dei preparati biodinamici scandiscono il ritmo dell'anno. Nei vigneti vive una variet\u00e0 di piante e animali che agisce da cuscinetto naturale contro i parassiti.\n\n<h2>L'ascesa silenziosa del Roter Veltliner<\/h2>\n\nSe il <strong>Gr\u00fcner Veltliner<\/strong> ha fondato la fama del Wagram, Karl Fritsch ha portato alla perfezione un'altra uva: il <strong>Roter Veltliner<\/strong>. Il vitigno, il cui nome deriva dalla caratteristica colorazione della buccia degli acini, \u00e8 stato a lungo considerato marginale. Nella Ried Steinberg raggiunge regolarmente <strong>94 punti Falstaff<\/strong>, valori che fanno di Fritsch la star silenziosa della scena dei bianchi austriaci.\n\nChi ama sperimentare sceglie il <a href=\"\/it\/materia-prima-xxii-2022-fritsch\/\" title=\"Acquista Materia Prima XXII 2022\">Materia Prima<\/a>: affinato per dieci mesi in uovo di cemento, da <strong>Traminer e Veltliner<\/strong>, pieno di tensione e di aromi inattesi, un vino naturale che divide ed entusiasma. E poi c'\u00e8 il <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/it\/fritsch-pinot-noir-ruppertsthal-2022\/\">Pinot Noir Ruppertsthal 2022<\/a>, fermentato spontaneamente in botti usate da 500 litri, con amarena, lampone, sottobosco e pepe bianco: la prova di Fritsch che sulle terrazze di loess calcareo del Wagram cresce anche un rosso di caratura internazionale. L'eleganza borgognona incontra la freschezza austriaca."},"parent_name":"Wagram","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/3139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/102"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lebendigeweine.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=3139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
