FRANZ HAAS. Via Villa, 6 39040 Montagna - Bolzano
Hold on. What we are about to present here is no ordinary Pinot Noir. For many enthusiasts, Italian and otherwise, this is even considered 'THE' Pinot Noir par excellence. It is one of the labels that best represents the long lineage of 'Franz' Haas. In this case, the Pinot Noir vines come from suitable vineyards located between 350 and 900 metres, on extremely heterogeneous soils. The high-density plantings also ensure the highest quality of the grapes. This, combined with the use of selected low-yield clones, guarantees continuity in quality development. Vinification takes place in open tanks, where the fermenting must comes into contact with the skins through frequent pumping over and punching down. Thanks to these techniques, the colouring substances and aromas contained in the skins are extracted and pass into the wine. The wine then matures for a year in barriques and after bottling it is further refined for a few months in bottles. Pinot Noir, which for Franz Haas is a kind of 'white among reds', presents itself (depending on the vintage) with a changing play of colours that can vary from light to deep ruby red. On the nose, the bouquet opens with notes of morello cherries and raspberries. Then marzipan and plum jam, cloves and a touch of cinnamon. As the minutes pass, the more typical aromas of the undergrowth variety are also clearly perceived. In the mouth, it is fresh and lively, thanks to elegant tannins that make it aromatic and round, inviting and tasty. Franz Haas Pinot Noir goes well with light fish dishes, roast game and red meat.
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!
