Petit Manseng Alto Adige DOC - Franz Haas

The barrel-aged Petit Manseng Alto Adige from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region has a dense golden yellow color in the glass. When the glass is swirled, this white wine reveals a high level of density and richness, which can be seen in the stained glass windows at the edge of the glass. This single-varietal Italian wine reveals wonderfully expressive notes of prunes, fruit loaves, raisins and dried fruit in the glass. There are also hints of forest floor and sun-warmed rock.

The Franz Haas Petit Manseng Alto Adige is wonderfully dry for wine enthusiasts. This white wine is never coarse or austere, as you would expect from an iconic wine segment. This dense white wine is full-bodied and multi-layered on the palate. On the finish, this storable white wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region impresses with its considerable length. Once again, there are hints of fruit bread and dried fruit.

Vinification of Franz Haas Petit Manseng Alto Adige

This powerful white wine from Italy is made from the Petit Manseng grape variety. Petit Manseng Alto Adige is an Old World wine through and through, as this Italian wine exudes an extraordinary European charm that clearly underlines the success of wines from the Old World. After being harvested by hand, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation for 10 months in oak barrels. The ageing in wooden barrels is followed by a long maturation in the bottle, which makes this white wine even more complex.

Recommendation for the Petit Manseng Alto Adige from Franz Haas

This Italian wine is best enjoyed moderately chilled at 11 - 13°C. It goes perfectly with lemon chili chicken with bulgur, potato pan with salmon or vegetable salad with beetroot.
