Passed down for eight generations now to the first-born son (always a Franz), Franz Haas winery is an impressive estate built and hewn out of the sheer rock face at the base of the Dolomites. The estate’s 60 hectares of land under vine cover an eye-catching spectrum of altitudes up to 1.150 m, making them among the highest vineyards in Europe. Distinctive are also the labels, designed by Riccardo Schweizer, an architect and artist who worked, among others, with Picasso and Chagall.

The Sofi Rosso is of an intense garnet red color with notes that resemble ripe red fruit and violets ending with spicy fragrances.

Sparkling

It is a particularly aromatic wine with a straw yellow color. The scent is very intense and fruity (dried fruit) with mineral notes, while on the palate it is savory with a good acidity and texture.

White Blend

Manna is a unique wine that Franz has dedicated to Maria Luisa; first released in 1995, it is a cuvée of Riesling and Chardonnay, a part of Gewürztraminer and a small percentage of Sauvignon Blanc; starting with the vintage of 2013, Kerner has been added by decreasing the percentages of Riesling and Gewürztraminer.

The Pinot Nero, which for Franz Haas is “the white among the reds”, depending on the vintage appears with a changing color scheme, which can vary from light ruby red to intense ruby red. The bouquet opens with notes of maraschino cherries and raspberries, marzipan and plum jam, cloves and cinnamon. In the end, aromas of underwood are perceived.

The Pinot Nero Schweizer has a ruby red color that varies from light to heavy depending on the vintage. Its bouquet seduces with complex and stratified aromas of fruit, such as ripe berries and cherries, spicy notes of pepper and leather. These aromas and sensations are also reflected on the palate. In the mouth, the wine thrills for its captivating tannins, its elegance and subtlety, and for its harmonious texture and body, which give this wine a very long life.

The color of the Merlot is garnet red. Notes of elderberries, berries and dried figs are enriched with spicy aromas of fresh ground pepper and star anise. On the palate, the wine conquers with great freshness, articulated structure, fullness and firm tannins, which reveals roasted and vanilla notes and ends with a long finish.

The Pinot Nero Pònkler was born in particular from a promise made to Francesco Arrigoni with whom, apart from the mutual appreciation and affection, we shared the passion for this grape variety and for our work. He was enchanted by the beauty of the place which is located in the municipality of Aldino at 750 meters. A vineyard surrounded by forests which is often visited by roe and in which various French clones were planted. The advantages of the high altitude which the wine reflects, evoked incredible emotions in Francesco and motivated him to define it “The Pinot Nero with the soul” in his last article. The label that distinguishes this wine is an artwork of Riccardo Schweizer which he gave us as a gift. It was forgotten in an old book and just in those days, when we were thinking about the packaging of the bottle and rummaging around in early texts, it came out of nowhere as if by magic. It represents exactly what this wine stands for: the triangle symbolizes the mountain or more precisely the altitude where the grapes grow. The hand which picks the grapes and brings the berries to the mouth and the sandtimer as a symbol of time, representing the nature which sets the best moment for harvest.

The Müller Thurgau is of a lively straw yellow color, with aromas reminiscent of Muscat notes, fresh fruit, peaches and flowers (yellow primrose), ending on an elegant and full-bodied taste with a very pleasant savory finish. With compelling simplicity and fresh acidity, the wine already seduces even while young.

The Pinot Grigio has an intense straw yellow color, a floral aromatic bouquet reminiscent of acacia, sage and hay, almonds and sandalwood, and is enriched with aromas of lime blossom and honey after an adequate period in the bottle. On the palate, the wine conquers with its finesse and elegance and the fresh richness / profusion. The Pinot Grigio gives its best after about three to four months of aging in the bottle.

The Pinot Bianco has a straw, shiny yellow color. The perfume recalls fruity and spicy notes that remind us of ripe apples, wildflowers and fresh bread. On the palate, it is distinguished by a definite personality accompanied by an elegant and robust structure, a harmonious acidity and ending with richness and persistency. The Pinot Bianco needs to mature for at least three to four months in the bottle to express its typical bouquet and complex characteristics.

The Gewürztraminer has an intense, golden yellow color with a deep bouquet of complex aromas such as lychee, orange peel, cloves, nutmeg and rose. The wine needs rest for a few moments in the glass to fully express at its best. The palate is full and stimulating thanks to its structure, freshness and vivacity, with a slightly bitter and persistent final note. The Gewürztraminer achieves its complete evolution only after several months of aging in the bottle.

The dry Moscato Giallo is slightly yellowish gold. It is a fine and aromatic wine. At the beginning, you can taste citrus notes, white peach, melissa and elderberry mixed with nuances of nutmeg and sweet spices. The strong acidity and the discrete mineral structure give this wine an excellent freshness and pleasantness.

The Sauvignon has a pale, straw yellow color with greenish hues. The nose is seduced with a colorful bouquet of aromas, including elderflowers, white peaches, complex notes pinned with dried fruits and Asian aromas. On the palate, it releases a lively and sapid acidity with mineral notes, while the ending notes are very persistent and stimulating and characterized by a pleasant fullness and elegance.

The Schiava is of a light ruby red color, with an aroma of cherry and red cranberry, slight hints of cocoa and bitter almond. On the palate, it is of attractive simplicity and at the same time complex and vinous, with an inviting conviviality.

Rosé

The Pinot Nero Rosé is light cherry red colored. The fresh and fruity bouquet opens with aromas of red berries, cherries and raspberries to end with final notes of herbs and a hint of cocoa. On the palate, the wine amazes with its fresh acidity, extended sapidity and inviting refreshing finish.

The Lagrein is of a deep and intense red color that in some vintages reaches violet notes. Its bouquet is very intense and wide, ranging from ripe red fruits to violets, spicy notes of fresh grass and cocoa.

Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

The Istante is of an intense garnet red color, with fruity aromas of dried black berries, plums, figs and dates, with notes of green tea and bark. These aromatic sensations endure in the wine throughout its long life and emphasize its depth. On the palate, the wine does not impress for its strong personality but it convinces with its stratified and elegant texture, its finesse and its complex and compact tannins that end in a long epilogue.

Sweet

Moscato Rosa has a bright ruby red color, with an aroma of a lively freshness and an intense aromatic bouquet with notes of rose, cloves, cinnamon and orange peel. On the palate, the wine fascinates with a complex and elegant structure and an enchanting game between acidity, sweetness and tannins.
