Pinot Noir Schweizer 2022 - 13,5% vol. Franz Haas Winery

Description: 
The Pinot Nero Schweizer has a ruby red color that varies from light to heavy depending on the vintage. Its bouquet seduces with complex and stratified aromas of fruit, such as ripe berries and cherries, spicy notes of pepper and leather. These aromas and sensations are also reflected on the palate. In the mouth, the wine thrills for its captivating tannins, its elegance and subtlety, and for its harmonious texture and body, which give this wine a very long life. 

Grape variety: 
Pinot Noir - South Tyrol Alto Adige DOC. 

Production area: 
The Pinot Nero Schweizer grows in carefully chosen areas, which for their microclimate have proven to be ideal to produce this wine. The individual vineyards are located at altitudes ranging between 350 and 700 meters above sea level and include a large variety of soils. In fact, silt is only a few meters away from different soil types including sand, limestone, and pebbles. The vineyards, thanks to the high-density of planting from 8,000 to 12,500 vines per hectare, allow the production of high quality grapes. The extreme in-house selection of low-yielding clones permits stable and continuous evolution of quality over the years. 

Vinification: 
The fermentation of the grapes takes place in open-top stainless steel tanks. During this process the floating cap of grape skins is gently and frequently plunged. Thanks to this technique the dyeing substances and flavors contained in the skins are extracted and transferred to the wine. At the end of the fermentation the wine is moved into barrique where the malolactic fermentation takes place. Afterwards the wine matures there for a period of 12 months as well as another year in the bottle. 

Food pairing: 
The Pinot Nero Schweizer is the perfect match for game, such as pheasant and duck, for wild rabbit, red meat and seasoned cheeses. 

Serving temperature: 
16 - 18°C. 

Ageing potential: 
more than 8 years.

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.
