2019 Simon di Brazzan Friulano Isonzo del Friuli DOC

WSI94 Crisp clean nose, with notes of stone fruit. Great harmonious medium-bodied wine, luscious fruit expression, ripe and round with great balancing acidity on the long finish. Delicious!
The Simon di Brazzan story started in 1913. Over the course of the past century, five generations have worked the land in Brazzano di Cormons, a small hamlet straddling the borders of Isonzo and Collio. The founder of the agricultural estate was a widow who was aided by a villager named Simon, whose name still adorns the wine’s labels. Towards the end of the 1986s, Enrico Veliscig shifted the permaculture of the estate towards pure viticulture, farming organically and working the vine until he was over 100 years old. In 2006, the reigns were passed on to his nephew, Daniele Drius. The resulting wines achieve the perfect harmony of the old and the new—creating wines that are textural, nuanced, and clean. Friulian varieties like Malvasia and Friulano are allowed to shine within the context of their history as well as their moment in time—a perfect expression of the gentle, thoughtful nature of Daniele Drius.
