Description
What type of wine it is
Franz Haas Gewürztraminer is a still aromatic white wine produced in Trentino-Alto Adige under the Alto Adige Denominazione di Origine Controllata. Vinified in stainless steel tanks and aged on the lees, its intense golden yellow colour reveals a complex aromatic profile with hints of rose, lychee, orange peel and sweet spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, offering a freshness and vivacity that perfectly balance the richness of the sip. The tasting concludes with a very persistent finish, characterised by a typical and pleasant bitter nuance.
Where it comes from
Production originates from vineyards located in the municipalities of Montagna, Gleno, Pinzano and Mazzon, within the Alto Adige territory. The vines grow between 350 and 650 metres above sea level with optimal south-west exposure, which encourages the perfect ripening of the grapes. The deep, clayey soils, carefully selected by Franz Haas, are distinguished by a significant presence of rock fragments and pebbles. These pedoclimatic factors enhance the intensity of the aromas, giving the wine a clean taste structure and a distinct territorial fidelity.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with a brief skin maceration, a fundamental technique for extracting and intensifying the aromatic imprint of the grape variety. The subsequent low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves the integrity of the aromas and freshness. Finally, the wine matures on its lees for about six months with frequent bâtonnage. This technique provides volume and an enveloping texture, giving life to a dry, harmonious white with long-lasting charm.
