It is called Manna, and it is one of the most unusual wines from the Franz Haas cellar. First produced in 1995, it is a cuvée, i.e. a blend, of different grape varieties. Riesling and Chardonnay, for the most part, with Gewürztraminer and a small percentage of Sauvignon Blanc. As of 2013, a part of Kerner was also added to this blend. The vineyards of the five varieties are located at altitudes between 350 and 800 metres above sea level. The ripening periods of the different varieties unfortunately do not coincide. For this reason, they are harvested and processed separately. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are fermented in barriques. While Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Kerner ferment in steel tanks to preserve their fresh component. The young wines are then blended and, after a period of about ten months on the fine lees, the finished wine is bottled and further matured in the bottle for a few months before final release. Golden yellow in the glass, thanks to its special characteristics Manna seduces with a complex and layered bouquet that brings to mind notes of elderberries, pistachios and rose petals. In the mouth, it impresses with its complexity and concentration, combined with a soft elegance and mineral structure. A versatile and long-lived wine, it is a white that continues to evolve in the bottle, giving new emotions every time you have the chance to taste it. Excellent with Japanese cuisine, hence sushi and sashimi.
There is a name that every good wine lover in Italy identifies with the Pinot Noir grape variety. It is that of Franz Haas, a winemaker in South Tyrol. Franz Haas, however, is not just a winery and not just a brand. Franz Haas, in fact, is first and foremost a man and his family who have been producing wine for seven generations and who put their whole philosophy of life into their bottles: a continuous and tireless search for perfection. The Franz Haas winery was founded in 1880 and has been handed down for seven generations to the eldest son of the family, who has the honour and responsibility of always bearing the same name, Franz (the current head of the winery is Franz VII, while Franz VIII will be his natural heir). In the vineyard, the vines are managed with absolute respect for the environment, using only organic substances to favour the natural process of cultivation and fertilisation. In 1999, with the first signs of the recent climate change, in order not to compromise on quality, several hectares were leased at altitude and in 2000 clones more suited to the new conditions were planted. Today, the company's vineyards reach over 1100 metres above sea level and are currently among the highest in South Tyrol. Cultivating at these altitudes is more difficult and strenuous, but the wines that emerge from these lands are distinguished by very special characteristics that make them unique. And millions of wine lovers around the world are grateful for the effort!
