Skerk lies 500 meters from the border with Slovenia in one of the most arid and difficult areas of Italy. Viticulture here is completely heroic, and this is where Sandi Skerk cultivates around six hectares of vineyards with maximum respect for nature and using ancient winemaking techniques. The plots lie 250 meters above sea level and have limestone-rich reddish and stony soils, which results in high quality wines. In short, these wines are honest, clean, and very interesting.
