Fermentation happens spontaneously in stainless steel, followed by malolactic fermentation and aging on the fine lees through the summer. It’s bottled unfiltered and carries the wonderfully broad \u003c\/span\u003eVino Bianco Europeo\u003cspan\u003e designation rather than a specific DOC. A pretty simple wine on paper, but one that tells you a lot about this little corner of Friuli and the young winemaker making it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stelvio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45459671908375,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/files\/Mitja_Sirk_Bianco-di_Mitja_Vino_Bianco_Europeo_2024.jpg?v=1788374675"},{"product_id":"mitja-sirk-bianco-di-mitja-vino-bianco-europeo-2025","title":"Mitja Sirk, Collio Ca' Savorgnan Friulano 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eVariety: Friulano \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMitja Sirk grew up between the kitchen and vineyards of his family’s La Subida in Cormòns, so wine was never exactly a foreign concept.

The vineyard sits on ponca, the local mix of marl and sandstone, and is farmed organically without synthetic chemicals. The grapes are hand harvested, pressed whole, and fermented spontaneously before spending time on the fine lees in a new 1,000-liter cask. It’s bottled the following May and then gets another year in bottle before release. A lot of old vines, a little patience, and a very specific piece of the Collio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stelvio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45459672268823,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/files\/Mitja_Sirk_Collio_Ca__Savorgnan_Friulano_2024.jpg?v=1788374696"},{"product_id":"mitja-sirk-venezia-giulia-meden-friulano-2024","title":"Mitja Sirk, Venezia Giulia Meden Friulano 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eVariety: Friulano \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eMitja Sirk grew up between the kitchen and vineyards of his family’s La Subida in Cormòns, so wine was never exactly a foreign concept.

The vines are around 60 years old and sit on ponca, the local mix of marl and sandstone, with an eastern exposure and cooling influence from the mountains. The grapes are fermented spontaneously and aged in used tonneaux on the fine lees until bottling in May, followed by another year of bottle aging. It’s a pretty focused expression of Friulano that shows just how much personality can come from one vineyard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stelvio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45459672825879,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/9076\/4311\/files\/Mitja_Sirk_Venezia_Giulia_Meden_Friulano_2024.jpg?v=1788374734"}],"url":"https:\/\/hartandcru.com\/collections\/mitja-sirk.oembed","provider":"HART \u0026 CRU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
