FRANZ HAAS

It was born in 1880 and has been handed down to today always to a Franz Haas. About 55 hectares of vineyards are processed, divided between properties, rents and conferring. Recognized for Pinot Noir which was the first label chosen by Franz, first vintage ’87 but released in 90. 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.

This wine, I must be honest, I found myself drinking it because I was struck by its label. Right from the start I found myself in a glass that is not easy to grow but the Haas family has been able to treat at best even if young (vintage 2018). In fact, Pinot Noir stands out for its refined and elegant characteristics. The hints of red berries, cherries and berries are enhanced in this wine. He has no chance with the same grape, large bubbles are made, in purity but not only. The great work of the cellar is perceived as soon as you taste Pinot Noir, as the delicacy and freshness combined with the lightness and the splendid flavors of red fruit have captured and impressed me. Incredible wine, even now that I find myself having to remember that moment I get goosebumps.

Given the peculiarities of this wine it can be combined with all types of meat from beef, veal, game, poultry. For the bravest egg pasta with porcini mushrooms or salmon.
