Franz Haas 2001 Manna Bianco di Mitterberg White (Alto Adige)

  1. $24
This wine, which takes the family name of Franz Haas’s wife, is an extraordinary blend of 50% Riesling, 20% Chardonnay, 20% Traminer and 10% Sauvignon Blanc. And yet these disparate elements come together into a harmonious, ripe wine, with just a hint of toast from the barrel-fermented Chardonnay. It is powerful, rich and complex.  — R.V.  (7/1/2003)

Franz Haas 2003 Lagrein (Alto Adige)

  1. $33
Known for excellent Pinot Nero from the slopes of the Cislon mountain in Alto Adige, this family-run estate also does a fine job with late ripener Lagrein. A spectacular, inky red color, the wine opens with multiple layers of mild cherry and wild fennel that will transform into coffee and black pepper with age.
