Description: The Istante is of an intense garnet red color, with fruity aromas of dried black berries, plums, figs and dates, with notes of green tea and bark. These aromatic sensations endure in the wine throughout its long life and emphasize its depth. On the palate, the wine does not impress for its strong personality but it convinces with its stratified and elegant texture, its finesse and its complex and compact tannins that end in a long epilogue.
Grape variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc e Merlot - South Tyrol Alto Adige IGT Vigneti delle Dolomiti.
Production area: The grapes to produce this valuable blend are predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot with a small percentage of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The vineyards of the various varieties are cultivated with the Guyot method and grow in Montan/Montagna and Neumarkt/Egna at altitudes ranging between 250 and 500 meters. These sandy soils can be found in very hot micro areas exposed to the south and southwest.
Vinification: After a careful selection in the vineyards the grapes are carefully worked and fermented in open-top stainless steel vats. During this process the floating cap of grape skins is gently and frequently plunged. Thanks to these techniques the dyeing substances, flavors and tannins contained in the skins are extracted and transferred to the wine. After the alcoholic fermentation, the wine is moved into barrique for the malolactic fermentation. Then the wine matures in these barrels for 18 months and after bottling for another year in the bottles.
Food Pairing: The Istante pairs perfectly with game and meat in crust of salt and aromatic herbs, roast and sliced beef “tagliata”. Once the full evolution is achieved, this wine pairs beautifully with noble and aged cheeses.
Serving temperature: 18 - 20°C.
Ageing potential: more than 5 years.
Bottle to: 750 ml - 75 cl - 0.75 liters.
Allergens: Wine can contain sulphites.
Producer: Franz Haas Winery Since the beginning, we work to express in the best possible way the quality of the wines we produce. The winery was founded in 1880 and has been passed down through seven generations to the first-born child of the family, who has the honour and responsibility of carrying the same name, Franz. Franz Haas is not just a winery, it is not just a brand. Franz Haas is a man, a family who has been producing wine for seven generations, and for seven generations has put into its wines the same philosophy of life: the constant and endless pursuit of perfection. Each Franz Haas with his own touch and style.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.
