Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Pinot Nero, which for Franz Haas is "the white wine among the red wines ", is a changing interplay of colours that can go froma light ruby to an intense ruby red according to the vintage. The bouquet opens with notes of black cherries, raspberries, marzipan, plum jam, cloves and cinnamon. In the mouth the wine is fresh and lively, bolstered up by elegant tannins which make it harmonious and round and guarantee a noticeable pleasantness while drinking.

Pinot Nero matches with light fish dishes, roasted wild game and red meat.

    Aromas of cooked strawberry with hints of orange peel and cream follow through to medium body, a solid core of fruit and round tannins. Shows a little wood (100% barrel aged for one year) now even though only 20% new is used. This will come together nicely by 2020. Drink or hold.

    Packaged in a screw cap bottle (that is still a rarity in Italy), the 2015 Alto Adige Pinot Nero is a delicately balanced and subtle wine. The aromas are assembled with precision and integrity, giving prominence to rose hip, violets and forest berry. There are distant almond-like aromas as well. This is a bright and fragrant wine that does great justice to this grape variety. It presents Italian Pinot Nero with purity and clarity.

Franz Haas  Winery Image

The Franz Haas winery and vineyards was founded in 1880. Since then, always making wines from our own grapes and always in the family 's hand, even the name had to be the same,rolling over from fathers to son. The actual Franz Haas is in the seventh generation. All vineyards are located in Montagna in Egna and on the hillside of Cislon. The altitude rangers from 240 to 800 meters above sea level (787/2625 Feet). The soll 's components vary from porphyryc sand, clay to soll that has a high content of limestone. The microclimates between vineyards also vary. From 1982 to 1986 we made substantial changes in our vineyards. With new planting,we increased the density from 6,000 to 12,500 vines per hectare by selecting low yeld vines. To reach the best quality, we planted new varieties (non-traditional in our area). The results after the first harvest were very encouraging.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”
