Franz Haas, Schiava

Since 1880 and 7 generations, the Franz Haas company has been producing high quality wines, able to best express the peculiarities of the terroir in which they are created. All the company's vineyards, which have always been cultivated with great care and love for the land, are located in the municipalities of Montagna, Egna and Aldino, on the high hills in the province of Bolzano. The wines of the cellar, thanks to the characteristics of the territory and the climate, are recognized for their intense and pleasant aromas and for a marked acidity.

The schiava is the red berried grape symbol of the South Tyrolean winemaking tradition. Before the recent Bianchista revolution in the Region, the schiava was the most cultivated grape variety in South Tyrol, to produce quantity wines with a rather poor quality. Today it is grown mainly in the area of Santa Maddalena and Caldaro. Thanks to the low yields and careful attention to winemaking, the schiava has established itself as a very interesting and modern red. Its fruity profile, its medium-bodied structure and ease of drinking make it a very pleasant wine and particularly adaptable in combinations at the table.
