Tasting notes

The Müller Thurgau vines are trained according to the traditional Pergola and Guyot system at an altitude varying between 500 and 800 metres. The soils, mixed between clay and porphyry, are exposed to the south and south-west. After a short maceration to favour the aromatic extraction, the crushed grapes are gently pressed. Subsequently the must is fermented at a controlled temperature in steel tanks and then aged there for about five months and then for a short period in the bottle. Müller Thurgau has a lively straw yellow colour, with aromas reminiscent of notes of muscat, fresh fruit, peaches, and yellow primrose flowers; it closes with an elegant and savoury taste with a very pleasant finish. With convincing simplicity and fresh acidity, the wine seduces even in its youth.

About this wine

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 19th century when it was founded by Franz Haas Senior. Today, the winery is run by Franz Haas Junior, who has continued the family tradition of producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region.

One of the standout wines produced by Franz Haas is the Sofi Bianco. This wine is made from a blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewürztraminer grapes, which 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 Sofi Bianco is a complex and elegant wine that showcases the unique characteristics of each grape variety. The Chardonnay grapes provide a rich and creamy texture, while the Sauvignon Blanc adds a bright and zesty acidity. The Gewürztraminer grapes bring a floral and spicy aroma to the wine, which is balanced by a subtle sweetness on the palate.

The winemaking process for the Sofi Bianco is meticulous and precise. After the grapes are harvested, they 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, which adds complexity and depth to the final product.

The result is a wine that is both refreshing and complex, with a long and lingering finish. The Sofi Bianco is a perfect accompaniment to seafood dishes, as well as light salads and appetizers.

Overall, Franz Haas is a winery that is dedicated to producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. The Sofi Bianco is a shining example of this commitment, and is sure to impress even the most discerning wine connoisseur.
