Description
What type of wine it is
Sirch’s Sauvignon is a still white wine that perfectly embodies the elegance of Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Made exclusively from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, this wine belongs to the prestigious Friuli Colli Orientali denomination. It is characterised by a fresh and accessible profile, with a distinct aromatic definition that combines herbaceous notes with fresh citrus touches. The vinification and ageing take place in stainless steel tanks, a choice that enhances the vibrant acidity and natural varietal purity, making it a wine with a smooth, savoury and harmonious sip.
Where it comes from
This wine is born in the renowned Colli Orientali del Friuli, from hillside vineyards located between Cividale del Friuli, Orsaria and Cladrecis. The territory is characterised by soils composed mainly of marl and sandstone of Eocene origin, locally known as ponca. This particular soil composition gives the wine a marked minerality and savouriness. The climate of the area is a mild and sunny microclimate, constantly tempered by the beneficial influence of the Mediterranean Sea, ideal conditions to ensure perfect phenolic ripeness of the Sauvignon Blanc grapes.
How it is produced
The production of this wine begins with a harvest at full phenolic ripeness. In the cellar, the grapes are destemmed and subjected to soft pressing. The resulting must is clarified via static decantation at a low temperature, then fermented in steel tanks at a strictly controlled temperature. Subsequently, the wine ages for about six months on its fine lees in steel, gaining structure thanks to periodic bâtonnage. A further period of rest in the bottle completes the process before being released to the market.
History and Fascinating Facts
Introduced during the Habsburg era at the end of the 19th century, Sauvignon Blanc represents a historical emblem of the precious Friulian tradition. Within this fascinating territorial landscape, the Sirch Azienda Agricola winery expertly showcases the extraordinary experience gained since the mid-1950s. The hundred hectares of hillside vineyards, located between Cividale, Orsaria and Cladrecis in the Colli Orientali del Friuli, stand as custodians of an inestimable heritage, allowing for the transmission of a viticulture that is as historic as it is wonderful.
