Muller Thurgau SOFI FRANZ HAAS

Franz Haas' Müller Thurgau “Sofi” is a South Tyrolean white wine that clearly expresses the characteristics of the grape variety and the mountain territory in which it is born. As for production, the grapes come from vineyards located at altitudes between approximately 500 and 800 meters, where the strong temperature variations favor the development of fine aromas and good acidity. After the harvest, the grapes undergo a short maceration on the skins, useful for intensifying the aromatic complement, followed by a soft pressing. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, a choice that allows the freshness and fragrance typical of Müller Thurgau to be preserved. The wine then remains to refine on the fine lees for a few months before being bottled, thus maintaining a young, clean and immediate style.
