The DOC Montello and Asolo Hills area extends north–west of the city of Treviso, in the earliest piedmont belt. The area is represented by two foothill and hill belts, that are very long and are oriented from east to west, united by a plain zone and by the Mecato Vecchio hills of Montebelluna and Caerano San Marco. Its hydrography is characterized in the north by the river Piave and in the south by Canal del Bosco, which runs at the foot of Montello. The surface substrate of the land located in the Montello area consists predominantly of clays with iron of dark reddish brown color.
The care about quality of wines goes hand in hand with the enhancing of the characteristics associated with ancient and tried winemaking traditions of the Montello area, always devoted to viticulture, thanks to the peculiar constitution of the soil and its lucky exposure, two crucial elements that generated hydrogeological conditions optimal for the cultivation of the great vineyards: Cabernet, Merlot and Prosecco, which draw the slopes and plains of the area.
Here there is a small winery that for more than twenty years has been considered the best interpreter of Cabernet in the North–East of Italy.
That Serafini & Vidotto in Nervesa della Battaglia, in the heart of the Gioiosa Marca Trevigiana, is a story of passion and respect. Passion for the land and for the wine made by two friends, skilled winemakers, experimenters, pioneers. Respect for the land, traditions and limits that do not allow to get quantity in spite of quality, large amounts through the sacrifice of excellence. And this is a love that looks forward, with a cutting edge wine cellar, today an example of a functional architecture in harmony with the landscape, the seasons and the work of men.
It is no coincidence that Serafini & Vidotto has given birth to Rosso dell’Abbazia, a wine that has marked the history of Italian winemaking.
