Franz Haas works in Südtirol, the Alpine corner of northeastern Italy where cool nights and mineral soils shape wines of precision and clarity. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Nero—the region's signature red—and white varieties suited to high altitude: Gewürztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, and Chardonnay. Pònkler, a Pinot Nero, stands as the flagship, joined by Pinot Nero Schweizer and the white blend Manna Schweizer. These wines have been assessed by Falstaff, Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, and Decanter. The house style reflects Südtirol's terroir: aromatic whites with mineral tension, and Pinot Neros marked by silky tannin and red-fruit purity rather than weight. At elevation, grapes ripen slowly, preserving acidity and complexity—hallmarks of the region's best producers.
