Product Notes

Franz Haas Lepus Pinot Bianco is an exquisite wine that embodies the aromatic elegance of Northern Italy's Trentino-Alto Adige region. This distinctive wine offers delicate floral and citrus hints on the nose, revealing layers of apple, pear, and white peach flavours on the palate. Subtle mineral undertones and a well-rounded acidity bring a delightful freshness and complexity to the finish. Fermented and aged in large oak barrels, the Lepus Pinot Bianco maintains a harmonious balance between its vibrant fruit expressions and modest woody notes. It's a refined, pleasurable wine perfect for matured cheese, seafood or white meat pairings.

Tasting Notes

This wine is straw yellow in colour. Its fruity, spicy aromas are reminiscent of ripe apples, field flowers and fresh bread crust. Strong yet elegant in structure, this Pinot Bianco has well-balanced acidity and is framed by a sweet, round richness and great length.

About the Winery

Franz Haas

Franz Haas Winery is one of the most prestigious and potent wine magnates in Italy's Lovely Alto Adige region. Nestled between the scenic mountains of Dolomites, the winery has nearly seven generations of intriguing history. It stretches over an impressive blend of variation: about 55 hectares of vineyards comprise the core of their wine production.

Franz Haas is the insightful brain who has been courageously steering this beautiful winery since 1986. His passion for wine-making is only paralleled by his zealous commitment to preserve the superior quality of his vineyards. Franz firmly believes that great wines originate not in the cellar, but from tenderly nurtured vineyards. This credence reflects strongly in the distinct, meticulously crafted flavours of the Franz Haas wines.

What sets the winery apart is it's sustainable work ethic. Each phase of the wine-making process is carried out adhering to stringent eco-friendly and ethical guidelines. This ensures an exquisite glass of wine that’s not just supremely gratifying to the palate, but also to the soul.

Franz Haas is particularly renowned for their Pinot Noir, a notoriously difficult grape to grow. Here, the wine flourishes under the combination of unique micro-climate, welcoming sunshine, careful irrigation, and rigorous cultivation practices. The Pinot Noir from Franz Haas is considered one of Italy's finest, impressing wine connoisseurs worldwide with its exceptional depth and structure.

Apart from their famed Pinot Noir, the winery also touts a commendable range of whites. Their Gewürztraminer and Pinot Grigio stand out with an absolute elegance, and are, solid favourites for both amateurs and sommeliers alike.

Overall, a visit to the Franz Haas Winery is an experience of warmth, passion, legacy and the joy of winemaking itself. Ethereal views of the majestic Dolomites- and a great glass of wine to toast with, make it a truly delightful experience. Not to mention the hospitality, which is as gracious as their vineyard are verdant.
