Extreme Viticulture, Innovation, and the Immortal Legacy of Pinot Nero
The Franz Haas winery, established in 1880 and now led by its seventh generation, represents the pinnacle of elegance and technical rigor in the prestigious Alto Adige DOC (Südtirol) appellation. Faced with constant climate changes over the last decades, the Haas family was visionary and pioneering in replanting their vineyards at extreme altitudes, reaching up to 1,150 meters above sea level in the communes of Montagna and Aldino. This unique geographical location exposes the vines to marked daily thermal amplitudes between day and night, preserving an electrifying natural acidity, incredibly fresh primary aromas, and impeccable phenolic maturation.
Especially renowned for their undisputed mastery of the complex Blauburgunder grape, the firm has consolidated its international status as one of the region's leading exponents. Their command over Pinot Noir grapes has been continuously validated in international lists and blind tastings by renowned platforms such as Wine Searcher, placing their bottles among the most coveted cult labels in Northern Italy.
At La Cava Shop we are proud to present the exclusive selection of Franz Haas in Mexico. We offer sommeliers, collectors, and wine enthusiasts the opportunity to buy these limited editions with guaranteed origin, optimal storage, and secure shipping to their doorstep.

Pinot Nero Schweizer: The Supreme Expression
Sourced from selected high-altitude micro-parcels with high-density clones, this wine represents the absolute benchmark for enthusiasts of alpine-style aged red wines. It exhibits a brilliant ruby color and a complex aromatic palette laden with ripe black cherries, raspberries, undergrowth, white pepper, and fine spicy notes contributed by its barrel aging. Its palate is silky, deep, and structured by polished tannins that ensure an aging capacity of more than a decade. An essential label to elevate any private cellar.
Manna: The Flagship and Innovative Blend
A legendary cuvée dedicated to Maria Luisa Manna that defies tradition by skillfully combining Riesling, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, and Kerner. It is an essential jewel in our catalog of premium white wines. It stands out for its dazzling aromatic complexity that integrates floral notes, stone fruit, jasmine, and saline mineral nuances. On the palate, it impresses with its volume, balanced unctuousness, and atypical persistence that evolves brilliantly with age in the bottle.
Sommelier Protocol and Controlled Temperature Service Experience
Oxygenation Management and Controlled Temperature Service
To fully enjoy the elegance of Pinot Nero Schweizer, a prior decantation of at least 45 minutes is suggested, and it should be served between 15°C and 16°C in large Burgundy-style glasses. For structured whites like Manna, it should ideally be served between 10°C and 12°C in medium-sized glasses; extreme cold should be avoided so as not to overshadow its olfactory richness or mineral complexity, following the technical recommendations published by Südtirol Wein.
Mountain Gastronomic Harmony
The distinct minerality and freshness provided by the calcareous and porphyritic soils of the area make these wines extraordinary companions in haute cuisine. Pinot Nero is ideal for pairing with roasted duck, quail, porcini mushroom risotto, veal, and traditional stuffed pasta. Manna, thanks to its silky body and exuberant aroma, creates a perfect pairing with grilled seafood, spicy Asian cuisine, saffron risottos, or soft cheeses.
