Red dry
Franz Haas Pinot Nero Alto Adige DOC 2023 is one of the most representative red wines from the Franz Haas farm, revealing why Alto Adige is considered one of the best ‘Pinot Nero’ (or ‘Pinot Noir’) regions in Italy. Franz Haas calls this variety “the white among reds”, emphasizing its elegance, subtlety and ability to accurately convey the character of the place of origin. The wine is made from 100% ‘Pinot Nero’ grapes and belongs to the Alto Adige DOC appellation.
The aroma reveals a layered combination of cherry, raspberry and plum notes, complemented by nuances of marzipan, cinnamon, cloves and forest floor. As the wine develops in the glass, subtle floral tones and light spiciness are revealed, giving it additional complexity.
The wine is characterized by freshness, energy and perfectly integrated tannins. The fruitiness of red berries is combined with an elegant structure, while minerality and lively acidity provide precision and a long aftertaste.
The grapes are grown on mountain slopes at an altitude of 350–850 meters above sea level. The large differences in day and night temperatures allow the aromatic intensity and natural acidity to be preserved, while the Alpine climate gives the wine an exceptional freshness and elegance.
After fermentation, the wine is aged for about 12 months in oak barrels.
It is recommended to serve at a temperature of 16–18 °C. Goes well with duck, veal, fried mushrooms, rabbit, quail, aged cheeses and delicate game dishes.
Forthright style for an Alto Adige pinot noir, with bright strawberry and red-cherry aromas, together with violets, ash and black pepper. Light-bodied with crisp acidity and a tight finish. Simple yet perfumed. Drink now.
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.
