Product Notes

Franz Haas Lepus Pinot Bianco is a beautifully crafted wine that showcases the elegance and finesse of the Pinot Bianco grape. This wine is a product of the meticulous attention to detail and passion of the celebrated winemaker Franz Haas.

The Lepus Pinot Bianco has a beautiful pale straw color and a lively aroma of fresh apples, pears, and citrus fruits with subtle floral notes. On the palate, it offers a delicate balance of crisp acidity, juicy fruit flavors, and a mineral-driven finish.

Handpicked and carefully aged in stainless steel tanks, this wine is a true testament to the expertise and dedication of its maker. Franz Haas Lepus Pinot Bianco is an exceptional wine that pairs well with seafood, salads, white meats, and pasta dishes.

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

The Franz Haas Winery is the place that you have to go to, if you are a lover of authentic Italian wines. Managed by seven generations of winemakers, this winery, which covers an area of 55 hectares, is known for cultivating the most challenging of all vines – the Pinot Nero. Franz released its first Pinot Nero Schweitzer wine label in 1990.

Located in the areas of Egna, Montagna and Aldino, the vineyards of Franz Haas are located at varying altitude levels ranging from about 250m to 1150m above sea level. The key feature of these vineyards is that they contain different soil qualities as well (sandy to clayey to soil with good calcium content). These, along with the varying intensities of microclimatic conditions, make these vineyards suitable for growing different rich-flavoured grape varietals.

During the year 2018, Franz Haas decided to bottle all his wines with screw caps to retain their flavours and aromas. With this decision, he became one of the first and few Italian winemakers to embrace this approach. Some of the popular wines from this label are:

  • Pinot Grigio – Made from Pinot Grigio Grapes grown at an altitude of 350 to 800m
  • Lepus – Made from Pinot Bianco grapes
  • Traminer Aromatico – Made from the indigenous grape varietal of Gewurztraminer
  • Petit Manseng – Made from Petit Manseng grapes grown at a height of about 220 and 320m
  • Manna – Made from the blend of four grapes – Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Traminer Aromatico
  • Moscato Giallo – New wine released in 2010 as an experiment from the Franz Haas label
  • Sauvignon – Made from Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown at a height of about 400 to 800m
  • Pinot Nero – Most popular wine made from Pinot Nero grapes grown at a height of about 350 to 900m
  • Lagrein – Made from the indigenous grape varietal of Lagrein grown in Alto Adige
