Description
Wine type
Pinot Grigio Sirch is a still white wine from Friuli-Venezia Giulia. This expression of the Friuli Colli Orientali appellation reveals an elegant aromatic profile, dominated by floral notes of jasmine and delicate white fruit, enriched by light balsamic nuances. On the palate, it is harmonious and enveloping, supported by an elegant savouriness that provides tension and closes with a fresh, citrusy finish. Vinification and subsequent ageing in stainless steel on the lees enhance the natural expressiveness and clear varietal freshness of the grape variety.
Origin
The grapes destined for this label are grown in Cividale del Friuli, within the historic Friuli Colli Orientali area. The territory, considered the ideal habitat for this grape variety introduced to the region at the beginning of the nineteenth century, is characterised by a cool and well-ventilated climate. The vines take root in soils composed mainly of marl and sandstone of Eocene origin, a specific geological formation that contributes significantly to defining the wine's aromatic profile and solid structure.
Production method
Production begins with harvesting at the point of perfect phenolic ripeness, followed by destemming and soft pressing of the bunches. The must undergoes static decantation at a low temperature before proceeding with temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Subsequently, the wine undergoes careful ageing on the lees for several months, supported by periodic stirring which provides greater depth of flavour and complexity. The entire process concludes with a final rest in the bottle before being released onto the market.
History and curiosities
Introduced to Friuli-Venezia Giulia at the beginning of the 19th century, Pinot Grigio historically derives from a famous mutation of Pinot Noir. It found its ideal habitat among the cool hills of the DOC Friuli Colli Orientali, a region deeply dedicated to the creation of excellence for centuries. In this fortunate context, the Sirch winery has worked with enormous dedication under the family's guidance since 1970. The company masterfully interprets this centuries-old heritage, honouring the ancient and precious winemaking traditions wisely passed down through time.
