It appears a pale straw yellow with greenish highlights, offering on the nose notes of elderflower, white peach, dried fruit and enveloping \u003cstrong\u003eoriental aromas\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, a \u003cstrong\u003elively, savoury acidity\u003c\/strong\u003e emerges, balanced by a clear mineral streak and a persistent finish. Served between 12 and 14 degrees, it pairs beautifully with tuna tartare, white meats and \u003cstrong\u003espicy Asian dishes\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eSauvignon\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes grow in \u003cstrong\u003eAlto Adige\u003c\/strong\u003e at altitudes between 400 and 800 metres, cultivated using the Guyot system. The excellent south and south-west exposure encourages regular ripening, while the \u003cstrong\u003edolomitic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, formed from rock erosion, give the wine a distinct savoury drive. For over a century, Franz Haas has pursued agronomic excellence across sixty hectares of vineyards. The expert guidance of oenologist Stefano Tiefenthaler takes advantage of the altitude to preserve strict \u003cstrong\u003earomatic precision\u003c\/strong\u003e, outlining a defined and clean \u003cstrong\u003eterritorial identity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with gentle pressing of the bunches, preceded by an \u003cstrong\u003eovernight maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e at low temperatures to extract the most delicate aromatic components. Fermentation is divided between stainless steel tanks and \u003cstrong\u003esmall wooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, combining varietal freshness with a solid structure. The wine then matures in the same containers for about eight months in contact with the \u003cstrong\u003efine lees\u003c\/strong\u003e. This sur lie ageing gives the sip lasting fullness and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1880, the \u003cstrong\u003eFranz Haas\u003c\/strong\u003e winery combines scientific precision with craftsmanship handed down through generations.
