Produced from Sauvignon Blanc grapes grown in the Colli Orientali del Friuli and aged on its lees in steel, it stands out for its intense and typically varietal aromatic profile. On the nose, clear \u003cstrong\u003enotes of boxwood and tomato leaf\u003c\/strong\u003e emerge, enriched by citrus nuances of lime and grapefruit, with slight hints of peach. On the palate, it proves to be broad and juicy, supported by a \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced sapidity\u003c\/strong\u003e and a lively acidity. The relaxed sip closes with a \u003cstrong\u003efresh and saline finish\u003c\/strong\u003e, ideal for pairing with shellfish, prawn risottos and asparagus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine comes from the hillside vineyards located between Cividale del Friuli, Orsaria and Cladrecis. The vines take root in soils composed of \u003cstrong\u003emarl and sandstone of Eocene origin\u003c\/strong\u003e, a mineral matrix that enhances the aromatic definition of the grapes. The \u003cstrong\u003emild and sunny microclimate\u003c\/strong\u003e, mitigated by the influence of the Mediterranean, favours optimal phenolic ripeness. Present in this territory since the late nineteenth century, Sauvignon Blanc is cultivated by Sirch using the \u003cstrong\u003eGuyot training system\u003c\/strong\u003e, an agronomic choice aimed at enhancing the aromatic concentration and identity of the terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with the harvesting of mid-hill grapes that have reached full maturity, followed by destemming and \u003cstrong\u003esoft pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e. The must is clarified via static decantation at low temperature and fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine ages for six months on its fine lees, gaining structure thanks to periodic \u003cstrong\u003ebâtonnage\u003c\/strong\u003e. This period on the noble lees consolidates the balance of flavour, while the \u003cstrong\u003efinal refinement\u003c\/strong\u003e preserves the natural freshness and varietal purity of the wine before being released to the market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced during the Habsburg era at the end of the 19th century, \u003cstrong\u003eSauvignon Blanc\u003c\/strong\u003e has become an emblem of Friulian tradition. Grown on the marly and sandstone soils of the \u003cstrong\u003eColli Orientali del Friuli\u003c\/strong\u003e, this grape variety releases a rare aromatic finesse. In this setting of excellence, the Sirch winery puts to use the experience gained since the mid-1950s. Thanks to the meticulous care of the Guyot training system, the one hundred hectares of \u003cstrong\u003ehillside vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e located between Cividale, Orsaria and Cladrecis give life to a harmonious and refined wine, an authentic guardian of territorial identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sirch Azienda Agricola","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48146201280683,"sku":"62806","price":16.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-ch\/products\/sirch-sauvignon-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
