Multiple wine labels from Franz Haas estate are rejoining Empson USA’s exclusive portfolio including Manna, Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio and all of Franz’ renown Pinot Noirs.
Franz Haas wines are considered a guarantee of quality amid the entirety of the wine industry.

The estate’s 55 hectares of vineyards reach up to 1.150 meters above sea level and are among the highest ones in South Tyrol. The steepness and altitude of the vines imply some challenges, but these extreme conditions contribute to the mesmerizing excellence, elegance and purity that characterize Franz Haas wines.
“This is a wonderful partnership that is back into our portfolio and we are very happy to reintroduce this prestigious name from Alto Adige not only for its outstanding quality but also for our love of Pinot Nero.” commented Empson USA CEO Tara Emspon “This inclusion will most certainly be a great addition to our Pinot Noir selections”.
