Recantina 2021
Serafini & Vidotto are two old school-friends. They decided to unite their talents and passion for high quality wines and vineyards, and purchased 20 hectares of vineyard land and ventured into winemaking in the 1990's. From the start, they chose to plant and make wines from international varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Their success has meant they have been considered to be the best producers of Cabernet in north-eastern Italy. Recently they have begun working with a once famous but now forgotten native grape, Recantina.
The Recantina grapes are manually harvested in mid-October and transported to the gravity fed winery. After a period of maceration the grapes are pressed and fall through into to the level beneath to ferment. The building is designed to remain at perfect temperature for the wine, it is very rare that they use thermostatic temperature control. Once bottled the wine is left to mature for 3 to 6 months before release.
