Wine Description:
The vineyards in San Pietro in Cariano and Masua/Montecorna employ a unique grape drying process for approximately 20 days, preserving freshness while intensifying flavors. The blend includes Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara. After harvest, grapes are immediately pressed and destemmed, with fermentation and maceration featuring frequent pump-overs. Re-fermentation on Amarone marc in January enhances color, structure, and alcohol. Aging occurs in a balanced combination of 50% Slavonian oak barrels and 50% barriques, contributing to the wine's distinct character.
Pros:
  • Intense and complex aromas of ripe red fruits, dried cherries, and spices

Cons:

In Veneto's Asolo, at the base of the Dolomite Alps, Francesco Serafini and Antonio Vidotto, a duo known for contrasting personalities, quietly established their winery in the mid-1980s. Recognized within a decade, their international-style blends gained acclaim, lauded as the "best in their category" by wine writers and featured on top wine lists in New York by the late 2000s. Amidst Asolo's historical viticultural legacy, erased during World War I, Serafini and Vidotto emerged as pioneers, revitalizing the region's tradition of grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Working with the Piave River Valley's ochre, iron-rich clay, and pebbly soils, they craft some of the world's finest red wines, including the rare Recantina grape. Despite being considered outliers for producing red wine in Prosecco territory, Serafini e Vidotto remains at the forefront, consistently pushing boundaries and delivering critically acclaimed Bordeaux blends.
