The Haas family has been growing grapes in Montagna in the province of Bolzano in the Alto Adige for generations. However, it is only with Franz, the current proprietor, that they have begun to produce and bottle quality wines. Franz studied at Geisenheim before working as a broker of Italian wines into the German market. After several years, he took over the running of the family business. Franz Haas goes to tremendous lengths to grow good grapes and then strives to preserve the flavours of the fruit during winemaking. As a result, the wines that he produces are infused with great character and show a rare purity and balance on the palate.
Vinification
The grapes were macerated for less than 24 hours in order to avoid the extraction of astringent tannins. Once the desired characteristics were reached, the fermentation was interrupted by refrigeration and filtration and the young wine was then transferred into steel tanks where it remained until bottling.
