Sirch Sauvignon 2022

Sirch is a well-respected winery located in Friuli Venezia Giulia, a region renowned for producing some of Italy's finest white wines. Known for their focus on crafting fresh, elegant wines, Sirch excels at bringing out the unique characteristics of local and international varietals. Their 2022 Sauvignon showcases the vibrant and aromatic potential of Sauvignon Blanc grown in the cool, breezy climate of Friuli’s hills. Sirch is dedicated to sustainable viticulture, ensuring that their wines reflect the purest expression of the terroir.

The vineyards benefit from Friuli’s unique terroir, where mineral-rich soils composed of marl and sandstone combined with the cooling influence of the Adriatic Sea and the Alps help preserve the grapes' natural acidity and aromatics. This climate is ideal for Sauvignon Blanc, allowing it to develop both intense aromatics and crisp, refreshing acidity.

Appearance: Pale straw yellow with greenish highlights, bright and clear in the glass.

Aroma: Fresh and aromatic, with vibrant notes of citrus fruits such as grapefruit and lime, accompanied by tropical hints of passionfruit and guava. There’s also a distinct herbal character, with aromas of freshly cut grass, green bell pepper, and a subtle minerality.

Taste: Light to medium-bodied, with zesty flavours of lemon, lime, and green apple, complemented by tropical nuances of pineapple and passionfruit. The wine has a lively, refreshing acidity, with a slight herbaceous edge that adds complexity and depth.

Finish: Clean and crisp, with lingering citrus and herbal notes, leaving a refreshing, mouth-watering finish.

Food Pairing: This Sauvignon is a perfect match for grilled asparagus or other green vegetables, where the wine’s herbaceous notes echo the fresh flavours of the dish. It also pairs beautifully with seafood, especially oysters or a light seafood salad, where the wine’s acidity cuts through the briny flavours and enhances the freshness of the ingredients.
