SAN SIMONE DI BRISOTTO

Sobre la bodega y los vinos

In Friuli-Venezia Giulia, at Rondover, between Prata and Porcia, in the most western part of Doc Friuli Grave and at the heart of Doc Prosecco, the company San Simone is the result of tradition and enological culture of our family, which is engaged in the profession of winegrowers for four generations. We selected the name San Simone for our wines and wine cellar in the memory of our origins. The first and historic headquarters were in fact situated in via San Simone, Prata, opposite the fourteenth century church devoted to Saint Simon, where our great-grandfather in the early 1900s gave the very first and decisive impulse to the activity which has been now converted into a family residence. Many changes have taken place over time. But one thing which has not changed is our value system: responsibility towards the reality in which we work, passion for our work and transparency in our working system. These are the values which are timeless.

The property is located in the zone of Doc Friuli Grave in the municipalities of Porcia, Pasiano and Azzano Decimo and in the Doc Prosecco area, extending over an area of ​​65 ha. We invest considerable resources in the vineyard, which make us promoters in the modern viticulture, targeted on low yield of grapes per hectare, thanks to modern vine training system (Guyot and cordon-spur), the high density planting and low bud density per vine. Furthermore, the rationalization of phytosanitary management, grassing, green manure and the study of the best environmental conditions for vine cultivation are the main factors that have contributed in producing top quality grapes for each variety that our winery grows. In addition to the international varieties grown in the winery, which we prefer to call “traditional” as cultivated from almost two hundred years in Friuli and can be found in ampelographic history of our region, such as Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, particular attention is paid to the autochthonous varieties: Friulano, Refosco dal peduncolo rosso and Glera.
