Description
What type of wine it is
Franz Haas's Sauvignon is a still white wine produced in the fascinating territory of Alto Adige. Made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, this wine belongs to the Alto Adige denomination, expressing a fresh and elegant character. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet characterised by notes of elderflower, white peach and delicate oriental aromas. On the palate, it presents a vibrant, savoury acidity and a marked mineral vein, offering a pleasant fullness and a very persistent finish that pairs well with seafood starters or white meats.
Where it comes from
The vineyards intended for the production of this white wine are located in Trentino Alto Adige, situated at an altitude between four hundred and eight hundred metres above sea level. The vines are cultivated using the Guyot system and benefit from excellent south and south-west exposure, ensuring optimal ripening. The soils of dolomitic origin, generated by the erosion of the surrounding rocks, are fundamental in giving the wine its typical savoury and mineral drive. This combination of altitude and soil composition allows for the preservation of rigorous aromatic precision and the definition of a clear territorial identity.
How it is produced
The oenological process begins with night-time maceration at low temperatures, ideal for extracting the most delicate olfactory components, followed by the soft pressing of the clusters. The fermentation of the must is divided between stainless steel tanks and small wooden barrels, a technique aimed at combining varietal freshness with a solid structure. Subsequently, the wine matures in the same containers for approximately eight months. This ageing on fine lees gives the final product greater structural complexity, ensuring lasting elegance and clear longevity over the years.
History and curiosities
Founded in 1880, the historic Franz Haas winery has passed down exceptional craftsmanship combined with a rigorous scientific approach for generations, cultivating its passion across sixty hectares of vineyards. For over a century, this oenological excellence has pursued perfection, now entrusted to the expert guidance of oenologist Stefano Tiefenthaler. Annual production stands at around five thousand bottles, a clear testament to meticulous, tailored care. The label also boasts a longevity of five to ten years, confirming the estate's total dedication.

According to Franz Haas, science and calculations are indeed necessary to obtain superb wines, but it is love, passion, and determination that are essential to give them character and complexity.
It takes art, the one you have in your blood, a loving creative genius, like the one of Franz Haas VII, who today leads the winery with his team. Read more
