Skerk Vitovska

Skerk Vitovska is a Vitovska variety orange wine produced by Azienda Agricola Skerk in the IGT Venezia Giulia, in Venice, Italy.

The grapes used to make the Skerk Vitovska wine come from plots located in Carso, an area of northwestern Italy with Slavic influence and predominantly limestone-rich soils with iron and rocky and arid areas. These vineyards are touched by the sea wind and are cultivated without using any chemicals.

The Vitovska variety is apparently a cross between Prosecco Tondo and Malvasia Bianca Lunga grapes. The grapes macerate in contact with their skins and ferment with their native yeasts. The resulting wine is aged in barrels at a controlled temperature before being bottled without filtering or adding sulphites.

The Azienda Agricola Skerk is located in Friuli, one of the areas with the longest history of producing natural wines and orange wines. This is where Sandi Skerk makes some of the region’s best wines. These wines have great texture and personality, they are orange wines without taking the concept too far. Sandi uses oak to ferment and age instead of concrete or amphorae, resulting in smoother wines with creamier, surprising and delicious textures.
