Gewurztraminer DOC FRANZ HAAS

Franz Haas' Gewürztraminer is a highly intense aromatic white wine, capable of best expressing the characteristics of the grape variety and the South Tyrolean territory. As for production, the grapes come from vineyards located between 350 and 650 metres above sea level, grown on deep, clayey soils rich in pebbles, with a predominant exposure to the south-west. After the harvest, the grapes undergo a short maceration in contact with the skins, useful for extracting aromas and structure. Fermentation takes place at low temperature in stainless steel tanks, a choice that allows the varietal aromatic component to be preserved. The wine then ages on the lees for about six months, with frequent batonnage, before bottling and a further short rest in the bottle.
