A white wine from the Alpine region that fundamentally changes the perception of the usual mass-produced style of this grape variety. Reflecting the precise winemaking of South Tyrol and the philosophy of the Franz Haas family, this wine stands out for its exceptional elegance and pure expression of mountain terroir.
The aroma reveals notes of white flowers, acacia, sage, and linden blossom, harmoniously complemented by ripe pears, white peaches, citrus zest, and light almond accents. On the palate, the wine maintains an excellent balance between fruitiness and crisp acidity, being medium-bodied with a soft texture. The finish concludes with an elegant and long-lasting mineral freshness.
The wine is made from grapes grown on the slopes of the Dolomite Mountains at an altitude of 350–800 meters. Large temperature differences between day and night help preserve aromatic intensity and freshness, while the clay and dolomitic limestone soil provides structure and minerality. The character of the wine is shaped by a combination of plots at different altitudes: high-altitude vineyards add aromatic subtlety, while the fruit from lower-lying plots provides weight and texture.
Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature (mostly in stainless steel tanks, with a small portion in small oak barrels). Afterward, the wine is aged on the lees for about four months.
Serve at a temperature of 10–12 °C. This wine pairs perfectly with fish dishes, seafood, light poultry appetizers, risotto, and fresh cheeses.
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.
