Description
What kind of wine it is
Phigaia After the White by Serafini & Vidotto is a still white wine made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Bianco grapes. An authentic expression of the Veneto region, it stands out for its citrus and vegetal notes of pink grapefruit, citron, mint and tomato leaf. A subtle period in wood enriches the bouquet with delicate hints of vanilla, lending a pleasant complexity. This fresh and elegant glass is ideal for pairing with light dishes, risottos and fish-based preparations.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Veneto, among the hills of Montello, in Nervesa della Battaglia. The area of the Tre Venezie is particularly suited to enhancing the natural qualities of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Bianco. The geographical origin is expressed in a dry style, where aromatic precision meets the character of the local soils. This label extends the Phigaia project to the white version, delivering a clear and recognisable expressive identity.
How it is produced
The grapes, grown using the Guyot system, are harvested after mid-September. In the winery, the Pinot Bianco ferments in steel to preserve its varietal integrity, while the Sauvignon Blanc is partially vinified in new wooden barrels. This is followed by a prolonged ageing on fine lees in steel tanks, completed by a brief period in wood. The meticulous cellar ageing allows the wine to be released on the market at least eighteen months after the harvest.
History and Curiosities
Phigaia After the White represents the refined white interpretation of the renowned Phigaia Rosso, an elegant creation by Serafini & Vidotto. This cuvée harmoniously combines Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Bianco, offering a sip that is both fresh and complex. Partial vinification in new wood gives the blend an intriguing and profound identity. The excellence of the 2024 vintage is sealed by prestigious awards: 5 Grappoli Bibenda, 3 Bicchieri Gambero Rosso, and a score of 91/100 awarded by James Suckling.

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
