Spumante Metodo Classico PN 1150 FRANZ HAAS

Franz Haas' PN 1150 is a Classic Method sparkling wine made from carefully selected Pinot Noir grapes. Winemaking follows the traditional method of refermentation in the bottle: after the base wine has been produced, it is enriched with tirage and sent for a second glass fermentation. The wine therefore remains in contact with the yeasts for a long time, for a period of around 1150 days, a characteristic that also defines its name and which contributes decisively to the aromatic complexity and taste structure. At the end of the aging process on the yeasts, we proceed with the riddling, disgorging and the possible addition of the final dosage, which defines the brut style.

Characteristics of this South Tyrolean sparkling wine

It appears bright straw yellow, embellished with an extremely fine and continuous perlage, indicating long maturation on the yeasts. On the nose it expresses itself with great elegance and complexity, opening on notes of white-fleshed fruit and ripe citrus, followed by more evolved hints of bread crust, pastry and a delicate mineral nuance. With oxygenation, calls of dried fruit and light spicy sensations also emerge. In the mouth it is tense and vertical, but at the same time enveloping thanks to its long stay on the yeasts. The acidity is well integrated and supports a creamy and dynamic sip, while the closure is long, savoury and extremely refined.

It is enhanced with raw seafood, fish tartare, delicate risottos with seafood or citrus fruits, and light, well-balanced white meat preparations. It can also accompany fresh or medium-aged cheeses, as long as they are not too intense. The ideal service temperature is between 6-8°C.
