Description

The wine is made from the authentic 'Lagrein' grape variety, historically grown in northern Italy. It is a great choice for those seeking a rich yet elegant red wine with an expressive structure.

The aroma is dominated by notes of ripe dark berries – cherries, blueberries, and blackberries – elegantly complemented by subtle tones of spices, cocoa, and vanilla. On the palate, the wine demonstrates a rich, structured character, distinguished by soft tannins and a long, harmonious finish.

The grapes are carefully hand-harvested from specially selected vineyards located at an altitude of 250–400 meters above sea level, ensuring ideal conditions for optimal berry ripeness and concentration. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, after which the wine is aged for 10–12 months in French oak barrels.

Serving recommendations

Serve at a temperature of 16–18 °C. This wine pairs perfectly with hearty meat dishes, game, grilled meats, and aged hard cheeses.

About brand

Franz Haas Winery – a synonym for elegance and heights since 1880.

Franz Haas is a historic Italian winery from the Alto Adige region, founded in 1880. Today, the winery is run by the seventh generation of the family, continuing long-standing traditions and creating wines that are famous not only for their quality but also for their unique style.

The family philosophy is to combine terroir authenticity, innovation and art in order to create wines that reflect the character of the mountains and the uniqueness of Alto Adige.

One of the main distinctive features of the Franz Haas winery is the vineyards planted from 240 to even 1,150 meters above sea level. Such altitudes are rare in Italy, but they allow the cultivation of grapes that produce:

Long-lasting wines with firm acidity

Wines with bright aromatic profiles

Mineral, elegant red and white wines

These conditions allow the creation of wines that retain their freshness even after many years of aging.

Soil diversity – a natural guarantee of complexity

Franz Haas vineyards stretch across different soils: from sand and gravel to fine clay and calcium-rich soil. This diversity allows winemakers to play with texture, structure and aromas, obtaining a subtle character of wines that reflect the microclimate of each area.

Artistic identity – Riccardo Schweizer labels

Each Franz Haas wine has a unique label, created by the famous Italian artist Riccardo Schweizer, who has interacted and worked with legends such as Picasso, Chagall, Le Corbusier and others. It is not just a wine label, but a work of art that stands out on the shelf and conveys the spirit of the wine.
