Rosso dell'Abazia Magnum 2018

Description

Serafini e Vidotto Rosso d'Abbazia is a still red wine, Veneto DOC. The vineyards are located in the northern area of the city of Treviso, in the Montello and Colli Asolani areas. The wine is born from the love and passion for viticulture of two farmers and winemakers, Francesco Serafini and Antonello Vidotto, who founded their winery in 1986; since then, nature and technology have magically collaborated to create decidedly intriguing wines. The vineyards, located in flat areas about 100/150 meters above sea level, grow on well-drained and fertile soils, blessed with a mild climate characterized by abundant rainfall. Serafini e Vidotto Rosso d'Abbazia is born from a blend of different grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The harvest, carried out between late September and early October, is done using the traditional hand-picking method, which involves careful selection of the finest bunches of grapes. The fermentation process takes place in large stainless steel or split oak barrels and is left to age for thirty months. The wine is then aged for approximately 15-24 months, although this may vary depending on the ripeness of the grapes and the vintage. After bottling, the wine ages in glass bottles for 1-2 years.

Details

Perfume

The first nose is enveloping and of complex fruitiness with notes of dried red plums, sour cherries, candied citrus fruits. Then in progression come out herbaceous hints of good mountain hay, aromatic herbs, myrtle berries, bay leaves, as well as pleasant floral perceptions of dried violets and balsamic eucalyptus.

Color

Bright and lively ruby red, with slight garnet reflections. It reveals excellent consistency.

Taste

In the mouth, the attack is simultaneously fresh and warm, enveloping and savoury. Then the wine opens up to its already sweet tannins, even if still 'young'; the persistence is long, fruity and spicy on a harmonious, well-sculpted body.

Serve at:

16 - 18 °C.

Longevity:

10 - 15 years

We saw these hills for the first time in 1985. Although there were only a few vineyards, there was the inspiration that only a stunning location like this can give. The hills, the woods, the valley, the riverbanks; to farm in a place like this, capable of arousing emotions, immediately seemed remarkable to us. A landscape we are always proud to show people, which we have been taking care of and protecting for over 36 years. From the very first day, ever since the 1986 grape harvest, we have been Serafini & Vidotto. Always with the same tenacity and idea of wine: finesse, purity of the fruit, identity and character. These are words that all can pronounce, but which can be applied by only the few armed with passion and patience.

A future laid down by the beginnings, guaranteed by the presence of a new generation. Starting with Matteo Serafini, who grew up here, among the vineyards and the cellar and trained as oenologist with experiences abroad and in the schools of Conegliano and San Michele all’Adige. In short, ideal conditions to say that we are on solid ground, while our wines are in excellent oak barrels.

Seeing that we are called Serafini & Vidotto, one might say that we have always been a group. Today that group has grown (in more ways than one), with a natural balance and understanding. Starting with Massimo and Kati, followed by the others. Those who have joined our family have found their place and, thanks to the place and to the atmosphere that has been created, no-one has left over the years. A sign that we share the same passion and tenacity. Because, although it is wonderful to live among nature, to enjoy a marvellous view day after day, the true value of our wine lies in the work of people.

Everyone produces quality. We are also committed to living with it. We have always believed that the project was about our lives. First and foremost, we had to do what we liked doing, without compromise. This is the same idea that we can find today in every Serafini & Vidotto wine. The ambition to satisfy our idea of quality. For ourselves, for the product, for all those who can rejoice in the results of our constant care. Read more
