Sirch
Sirch produces wines from Colli Orientali del Friuli, a subregion of Friuli-Venezia Giulia in northeastern Italy known for its mineral-driven whites and structured reds. The winery's Schioppettino, a native varietal of the region, has earned recognition from Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, and Falstaff. The Cladrecis Chardonnay demonstrates the region's capacity for complex white wines, while the Cladrecis Rosso—a blend of Merlot, Schioppettino, and Pignolo—showcases the interplay between international and indigenous grapes. Colli Orientali's continental climate and calcareous soils impart distinctive character to these wines, which balance ripeness with acidity and tannin structure.
