In the heart of Montello, among the hills of the province of Treviso, Serafini & Vidotto has rediscovered and promoted an almost forgotten native grape variety: Recantina. But let's start from the beginning. Montello and Colli Asolani are characterised by clayey and calcareous soils, ideal for viticulture. Recantina is the daughter of this corner of Italy, cultivated since ancient times but almost disappeared with the arrival of phylloxera in the early 20th century. Thanks to the recovery efforts of a few producers, including Serafini & Vidotto, it has been reintroduced and today represents a unique wine heritage. The harvest takes place in mid-October and, after traditional vinification, the wine is aged in steel for at least 6 months before being released 8-10 months after harvest. It has a bright ruby red colour. The bouquet is exuberant and fruity, with notes of black cherries, ripe raspberries and blueberries, accompanied by floral hints of violet and spices such as white pepper and liquorice. The palate is almost perfect, with a juicy drinkability and well-integrated tannins, typical of the grape variety. Already good today, this wine can evolve well for a few years, developing aromatic complexity. Excellent with cold cuts, red meats such as Florentine steak, duck breast with aromatic herbs, roast guinea fowl, lamb chops “scottadito” style and not too mature cow's milk cheeses.
