Vigneti delle Dolomiti Rosso SOFI FRANZ HAAS

Franz Haas' Sofi Rosso is a red wine made from a blend of Lagrein and Merlot, grown between approximately 230 and 350 metres above sea level in the hilly areas of South Tyrol. The vineyards are mainly south- and southwest-facing and rely on sandy and porphyritic soils, conditions that favor balanced ripening and good aromatic expression. The grapes of the two varieties are harvested manually and vinified separately. Fermentation takes place exclusively in temperature-controlled steel, so as to preserve the fruit's fragrance and aromatic cleanliness. Once winemaking is complete, the wines are assembled and aged for a few months before bottling.

Characteristics of this South Tyrolean wine

In the chalice it has an intense and bright garnet red colour. On the nose it expresses a fragrant and immediate profile, with notes of ripe red fruit such as cherry and small berries, accompanied by floral hints of purple and light spicy nuances on the finish. In the mouth it is a wine of medium structure, soft and flowing, with delicate and well-integrated tannins. The freshness makes it lively and easily drinkable, while the sip closes on fruity and slightly spicy sensations that lengthen its persistence.
