FRANZ HAAS. Via Villa, 6 39040 Montagna - Bolzano
His label is simply unmistakable. The stylised artist's image and the golden Franz Haas lettering are a kind of signature, unique and recognisable. All over the world. In this case, we are in the presence of one of the South Tyrolean winery's most iconic bottles. The white Sauvignon, or Blanc, comes from vineyards located between 400 and 800 metres above sea level, where soils and beneficial temperature fluctuations between day and night allow the fruit to ripen perfectly. Once in the winery, the crushed grapes are gently pressed after a night of maceration at low temperatures. Part of the must is fermented in steel tanks and part in barriques. The wine then matures in the same containers for about eight months in contact with the fine yeasts. The Franz Haas Sauvignon presents itself in the glass with a beautiful light straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. The nose seduces with a colourful bouquet of aromas, including elderflower, white peach, complex notes of dried fruit and oriental aromas. In the mouth it releases a fresh, lively and savoury acidity, with mineral notes. The finish is very persistent, characterised by a pleasant fullness and elegance. Excellent with delicate dishes, but not too delicate, such as tuna tartare or, for meat lovers, with vitello tonnato. Also fabulous in combination with slightly spicy dishes.
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!
