Serafini e Vidotto
We are right in the heart of the Veneto region. In the area of Montello Colli Asolani DOC. The municipality is Nervesa della Battaglia, in the province of Treviso. It is here that Serafini and Vidotto harvest the Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with which they produce this PHIGAIA - After the red. An important red wine, with an international flavour, that takes a good three years to reach the right maturity. And after a long period of maturation in wood that lasts for more than a year. Ruby red, luminous. The nose reveals an intense wine, rich in fruity notes ranging from sour cherries, sour cherries to blackcurrants. Then clear floral hints of medicinal herbs and spicy hints of coffee and liquorice. An elegantly structured and enveloping wine, with perfectly integrated soft tannins. The finish is long and persistent. This is the wine to propose when the evening includes a special meat-based menu. A gem, for example, is the combination with braised veal cheeks or, for lovers of strong flavours, with lamb chops with rosemary. Also excellent with medium-aged cheeses.
The story of Serafini e Vidotto began in 1985, the first time the current owners of the company saw the green hills of the Montello-Colli Asolani DOC area. We are in the heart of the Veneto region, right in the centre of it all. Here, to the north-west of the city of Treviso, lies the first foothills. There were few vineyards then. But there was the inspiration that only a beautiful place can give. The hills, the woods, the valley, the banks. The ideal place to give life to one's own business. First harvest 1986. And since then little has changed in the winery: finesse, cleanliness, identity and character. Today the winery is proudly environmentally friendly. For us," reads the company website, "sustainability has become ethical. There is no other way of making wine". Thanks to the collaboration with researchers from various universities, today for Serafini and Vidotto "green" is first and foremost a way of thinking. For more than twenty years, for example, fertilisation has been carried out strictly with farm compost, mature and controlled manure or, alternatively, with certified organic fertilisers. There is no weeding, but laborious hoeing by hand, and above all different and targeted defence strategies, site by site. The harvest is, of course, strictly manual, as is the selection of the grapes before beginning the slow transformation process. All this is done to limit all intervention in the cellar as much as possible, and to succeed in reducing the use of sulphur dioxide to below 50% of the legal limits.
