Description

His label is simply unmistakable. The stylised artist's image and the golden Franz Haas lettering are a kind of signature, unique and recognisable. All over the world. In this case, we are in the presence of one of the South Tyrolean winery's most iconic bottles. The white Sauvignon, or Blanc, comes from vineyards located between 400 and 800 metres above sea level, where soils and beneficial temperature fluctuations between day and night allow the fruit to ripen perfectly. Once in the winery, the crushed grapes are gently pressed after a night of maceration at low temperatures. Part of the must is fermented in steel tanks and part in barriques. The wine then matures in the same containers for about eight months in contact with the fine yeasts. The Franz Haas Sauvignon presents itself in the glass with a beautiful light straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. The nose seduces with a colourful bouquet of aromas, including elderflower, white peach, complex notes of dried fruit and oriental aromas. In the mouth it releases a fresh, lively and savoury acidity, with mineral notes. The finish is very persistent, characterised by a pleasant fullness and elegance. Excellent with delicate dishes, but not too delicate, such as tuna tartare or, for meat lovers, with vitello tonnato. Also fabulous in combination with slightly spicy dishes.
