FRANZ HAAS. Via Villa, 6 39040 Montagna - Bolzano
There is all the charm, and style, of a great mountain sparkling wine in this Alto Adige Pas Dosé from Franz Haas. Charm and style that in large part derive from the particular grapes used in its elaboration. In fact, the Pinot Noir used in this Millesimato comes from vineyards located between 750 and 1,150 metres above sea level. Here, climate change has not yet managed to disrupt the rhythms of nature and the soils, mixed between dolomite and porphyry, guarantee an ideal substrate for growing grapes. After harvesting, the grapes are partly crushed whole, while the remaining part is destemmed and then pressed. The first ageing takes place in stainless steel, for six months, and in the spring following the harvest the wine is bottled to begin the draught phase. At that point, the wine remains on the lees for about four years, and six months before it goes on sale, disgorgement takes place. A Pas Dosé of great personality, in the glass it has a brilliant straw yellow colour, with a fine and persistent perlage. It is a pleasantly gastronomic bubble, in the sense that it pairs easily with a variety of situations. However, the producer emphasises: 'since it is pure Pinot Noir, it can never be a wine for everyone, but particularly for those who love this grape variety. On the table, not to be mistaken, we can pair it with first and second courses based on fish. Excellent, however, also with raw seafood, perhaps as an elegant aperitif.
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!
