San Simone was founded in Friuli by a family that has always believed in the extraordinary enological potential of its land and has more than hundred years of experience in wine-making. A family, four generations: a story full of dynamic and resolute characters. These were the talents of our great-grandfather and founder Gino Brisotto, who at the beginning of the last century with our great grandmother Olga, gave the first decisive impulse to the activity later followed by our grandparents, Antonio and Angela with perseverance and confidence to strengthened it.

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.

At the Concours Mondial Bruxelles, our Prosecco Doc Brut Millesimato Perlae Naonis 2021 was awarded the Gold Medal. Read more
