Franz Haas Lepus Pinot Bianco Alto Adige DOC 2022

Description

A 'Pinot Blanc' (Pinot Bianco) white wine perfectly reflecting the pure mountain terroir characteristics of the Alto Adige region.

The aroma reveals notes of fresh bread, dried wildflowers, apples, peaches, and almonds. On the palate, the wine demonstrates a creamy texture, harmoniously complemented by crisp citrus and mineral accents.

The grapes are grown at an altitude of 400–800 meters above sea level in Guyot-trained vineyards with south and southwest exposure. Different soil types – from light sand to heavier porphyry erosion soils – give this wine exceptional complexity.

To preserve freshness and create a firmer structure, the berries are fermented partly in stainless steel tanks and partly in oak barrels (barriques). Before bottling, the wine is aged on the lees for about five months.

Serving recommendations

Serve at a temperature of 10–12 °C. Pairs perfectly with light fish dishes, seafood, white meat, poultry, and fresh 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.
