The 2025 vintage certainly looks like a very good one, to quote the famous movie, especially from the health point of view.
Spring, which coincides with the first phase of the productive part of the plants, was smooth making few treatments necessary.
If you are up to date with the weather conditions in our area in recent months, you will know that they have been optimal, even in early September.
Let’s see how some of Brazzan’s Simon varieties made it to the 2025 harvest.
In early September, the Traminer grapes were still maintaining excellent health, as were the Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon, three varieties that also make up the blend of the Ri-né blanc, a blend that a few days ago was also awarded Top Wine status by Slow Wine 2026 for the 2023 vintage.
Malvasia is also a variety that has certainly benefited from climatic favor this year, especially compared to last year, which was characterized by a great deal of rainfall and significant falls especially at the flowering stage.
The 2025 enjoyed fairly steady production and maturation.
Positive year for Pinot Grigio as well. In September, the grapes arrived healthy and made their way to the winery in joy for winemaking!
We will succeed again this year in producing the much-loved Tradiziòn, thus the macerated Pinot Grigio for which it is necessary that the grapes reach an excellent level of health precisely because maceration must take place in about 20-25 days.
As for Friulano, it is an interesting vintage.
The fear was that the rains in early September would weaken the grape skins, but Daniele Drius’ experience led to the realization that leaving the plants somewhat water-deprived in mid-August, when they would need to be irrigated, would instead make them indispensable without negatively interfering with the health of the grapes.
All that remains is to finalize the harvest, proceed with vinification and wait patiently for the passage of winter to taste the first fruits in glasses in early spring 2026.
