Deep and intense red color that in some years touches purple notes. Its bouquet is very intense and broad, ranging from ripe red fruits to violets, from spicy notes to fresh grass and cocoa. On the palate the wine seduces with its strong personality, the massive and velvety tannins, the pleasant fullness and a long and enveloping final note |
The grapes are delicately de-stemmed and fermented in open vats. To avoid the excessive extraction of tannins, during the vinification there are not too many pumping over and punching down. When fermentation is complete, the wine is decanted into tonneau (larger oak barrels) where the malolactic fermentation takes place and maturation for 10-12 months. Finally, a few months of bottle aging follows. |
It goes perfectly with rich and tasty dishes, as well as with grilled red meats. |

The company FRANZ HAAS has always worked to best express the quality of the wines it produces. It was born in 1880 and is handed down to a FRANZ HAAS . Approximately 55 hectares of vines are worked, divided between properties, rents and contributors. FRANZ HAAS has always been recognized as a great lover and lover of the most difficult, most sensitive, most satisfying grape variety: Pinot Noir. Despite all the attention, commitment, effort, the product is not always up to its origins , and therefore our selection, the “Schweizer”, is not always placed on the market. Another detail that distinguishes FRANZ HAAS is the connection with the artist Riccardo Schweizer, who also collaborated with Picasso, Chagall, Cocteau, Paul Éluard and Le Corbusier and created the wine labels ... which were donated by Maria Luisa Manna to Franz , as a good omen for the release of its wines. The vineyards are all located in the municipalities of Egna, Montagna and Aldino and start from an altitude of 240 meters up to 1,150 meters, with a great variability of microclimate and soil, from porphyritic sand to clay up to high soils. limestone content. |
