Description
What kind of wine it is
San Simone Prosecco Perlae Brut is an organic sparkling wine from Friuli of great elegance. It is created from a careful blend of Glera and Pinot Grigio, presenting a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights. On the nose, it offers broad aromas of white peach and apple, enhanced by a delicate musky nuance. Produced using the Charmat method, it displays a fine and persistent perlage. On the palate, it is harmonious, fresh and lively, with a finish characterised by a clear and elegant mineral note.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown in the western area of Friuli, in the heart of the region renowned for Prosecco production, between the municipalities of Pasiano and Porcia. The vineyards are rooted in alluvial soils, rich in limestone, sand and clay, which give the wine a pronounced purity of flavour. The vines are trained using the double Guyot system, following the principles of organic farming. The San Simone winery works with dedication and low yields to ensure raw materials of the highest quality.
How it is produced
After the harvest, vinification begins with destemming and a gentle pressing. The must ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature to preserve the varietal aromas. The subsequent prise de mousse takes place in an autoclave for about thirty days; once the desired pressure is reached, fermentation is stopped by cooling. This is followed by ageing on the lees for three months, which is essential to enrich the aromatic profile before the final isobaric bottling.
History and Curiosities
San Simone Prosecco Perlae Brut embodies the century-old spirit of a historic Friulian winery founded in 1915. Grown on the alluvial soils of Pasiano and Porcia, the grapes are the result of rigorous organic and sustainable viticulture. The expertise of the oenologists is reflected in meticulous craftsmanship: after a slow prise de mousse, a three-month maturation on the lees in autoclave enhances its organoleptic profile. This label encapsulates the legacy of a family devoted to its land, offering a toast of pure elegance in full respect of the environment.

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.
