Franz Haas is a renowned winery located in the heart of Alto Adige, Italy. The winery has a rich history that dates back to the early 1900s when it was founded by Franz Haas Sr. Today, the winery is run by Franz Haas Jr. who has continued the family tradition of producing high-quality wines that are a true reflection of the region's terroir. One of the winery's most popular wines is the 'Lepus' Pinot Bianco. This wine is made from 100% Pinot Bianco grapes that are grown in the vineyards surrounding the winery. The grapes are carefully selected and hand-harvested to ensure that only the best fruit is used in the winemaking process. The style of production for the 'Lepus' Pinot Bianco is a combination of traditional and modern techniques. The grapes are gently pressed and the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine is then aged on its lees for several months to add complexity and depth to the final product. The resulting wine is a beautiful pale yellow color with greenish reflections. On the nose, the wine is fresh and fruity with notes of apple, pear, and citrus. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing with a good balance of acidity and minerality. The finish is long and elegant with a hint of almond. Overall, the 'Lepus' Pinot Bianco is a fantastic example of the quality and style of wines that Franz Haas is known for. It is a wine that is perfect for any occasion and pairs well with a variety of dishes, including seafood, pasta, and white meats. If you are looking for a high-quality Pinot Bianco that truly represents the terroir of Alto Adige, then the 'Lepus' from Franz Haas is definitely worth trying.
