Franz Haas 1 Items

The Franz Haas winery and vineyards was founded in 1880. Since then, always making wines from our own grapes and always in the family 's hand, even the name had to be the same,rolling over from fathers to son. The actual Franz Haas is in the seventh generation. All vineyards are located in Montagna in Egna and on the hillside of Cislon. The altitude rangers from 240 to 800 meters above sea level (787/2625 Feet). The soll 's components vary from porphyryc sand, clay to soll that has a high content of limestone. The microclimates between vineyards also vary. From 1982 to 1986 we made substantial changes in our vineyards. With new planting,we increased the density from 6,000 to 12,500 vines per hectare by selecting low yeld vines. To reach the best quality, we planted new varieties (non-traditional in our area). The results after the first harvest were very encouraging.
