Description
What kind of wine it is
Perlae Naonis Cuvée Blanc de Blancs Brut by San Simone is a sparkling wine made from a blend of Glera and Chardonnay. It displays a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. On the nose, there are intense aromas of green apple and peach, accompanied by citrus notes of bergamot. On the palate, it is characterised by a fine and creamy perlage that enhances its pronounced freshness. The drink is supported by a soft savouriness, with an elegant finish reminiscent of sugared almonds, making it ideal for accompanying aperitifs and fish dishes.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from western Friuli, in the municipalities of Porcia, Azzano Decimo and Pasiano, areas historically linked to Prosecco production. The San Simone vineyards are situated on alluvial soils of calcareous origin, rich in sand and clay. This particular soil composition gives the sparkling wine remarkable clarity, enhancing the aromatic profile of the white grape varieties and ensuring a lively and savoury drink, true to its terroir of origin.
How it is produced
After gentle pressing of the grapes, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The secondary fermentation takes place in a pressurised tank using the Charmat Method for about thirty days. Once this stage is complete, the wine is left to mature at low temperatures for at least three months, a crucial step to refine the texture of the bubbles and increase the complexity of the bouquet. Finally, isobaric bottling ensures the perfect preservation of the sparkling wine's natural freshness.

Later on handed over to our parents, Gino and Liviana convinced that to grow and improve we must always be open to change, which gave birth to a new production project: San Simone. An adventure that started from the historical Brisotto cellars, in Prata and later shifted to the new premises in Porcia, where the company accelerated its pace on the road to quality. This project aims to handle with care even a minimum detail, from the vineyard to the bottle.
