Imagine a natural amphitheatre, where the hills roll gently, kissed by the sun and caressed by the breeze. We are in the heart of the Asolo Hills, an area of great beauty, where vines sink their roots into soil rich in history and minerals. Here, in Nervesa della Battaglia, Il Rosso dell'Abazia, produced by Serafini & Vidotto, is born. It is made from a blend of international grape varieties that are perfectly suited to this area: Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Cabernet Franc (30%) and Merlot (10%). These grape varieties give life to a wine of great structure and elegance. After the harvest, which takes place between the end of September and October, the grapes are vinified in wooden barrels. The wine then matures for 15-24 months, always in oak, refining its character and complexity. Finally, it rests in the bottle for at least 2 years before being released for sale. Intense ruby red in colour with garnet reflections, the nose is an explosion of aromas. Ripe fruit such as red plums and black cherries, candied citrus fruits, floral and herbaceous notes, with a balsamic touch. On the palate, it is full-bodied and enveloping, with elegant and perfectly integrated tannins. The finish is long, intense and complex. Perfect with succulent red meat dishes such as ribeye and T-bone steaks, pheasant with cacciatora sauce and mature mountain cheeses. Serafini & Vidotto is a winery in Nervesa della Battaglia, in the heart of Montello, in the province of Treviso.
