The Sauvignon from Sirch is a successful version of this famous semi-aromatic French grape variety, which reaches peaks of absolute excellence in the Loire Valley. It has been cultivated in Friuli since the 19th century and among international varieties, it has developed the best symbiosis with the territory, becoming a true enological symbol of the region. In the milder and sunnier climate of the Colli Orientali, Sauvignon Blanc offers mature notes with a more pronounced aromaticity and a mediterranean, intense, and broad character. It is a wine that highlights the varietal richness, with fruity aromas, vegetal hints, and mineral sensations typical of the terroir.
The Sauvignon Sirch is the result of over half a century of experience in vine cultivation in the splendid territory of the Colli Orientali del Friuli. Sirch manages a vast estate of about one hundred hectares, divided between the estates of Cividale del Friuli, Orsaria, and Cladrecis. The Sauvignon grapes come from the best vineyards of the estate, cultivated in a medium hill area, on soils characterized by limestone and sandstone marls, particularly suitable for white grape varieties. At the end of the harvesting operations, the bunches are destemmed and the grapes are softly pressed. After static decantation, the must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16°-18 °C. It rests on the fine lees in steel tanks for six months and finishes aging with a few months in the bottle before being put on sale.
The white Sauvignon is one of the most famous labels of Sirch. Among international grape varieties, it is the most loved and appreciated for its strong character, marked by a typically territorial style. It has a pale straw yellow color with slight greenish reflections, presenting itself to the nose with intense and rich aromas, reminiscent of medicinal herbs, sage, tomato leaf, boxwood, citrus zest, grapefruit, peach, white-fleshed ripe fruit, and tropical fruit. Intense and aromatic, it unfolds harmoniously in a juicy and long sip, which anticipates a finish of great freshness, closing on notes savory. It is perfect to pair with a dish of shellfish, a risotto with scampi, or with asparagus.
