    Winemaker Notes

    Serafini & Vidotto Azienda Agricola s.s.
    Serafini & Vidotto Azienda Agricola s.s., Italy
    Many in the Italian wine world know the pair as polar opposites. Winemaker Francesco Serafini is renowned for his outsize personality, while vineyard manager Antonio Vidotto is famously reserved. Serafini and Vidotto quietly founded their winery in Veneto’s picturesque Asolo township at the foot of the Dolomite Alps in the mid-1980s. It only took a decade for the world to take note. By the late 2000s, their stunning international-style blends were being called the “best in their category” by wine writers and they were being offered on New York’s top wine lists. Today, few remember that during the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Veneto, Asolo was one of the top communes for the production of grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. World War I literally wiped that viticultural tradition off the map. Serafini and Vidotto were among the pioneers who rebuilt that legacy. And the ochre, iron-rich clay and pebbly soils of the Piave River Valley continue to deliver some of the best red wines in the world. Serafini e Vidotto is also one of the few growers who vinifies the Recantina grape, a variety once thought lost to the ages. Often considered an “outlier” because they make red wine in the land of Prosecco, Serafini and Vidotto continue to push the envelope as they produce some of Italy’s most critically acclaimed Bordeaux blends.

    Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

    Producing every style of wine and with great success, the Veneto is one of the most multi-faceted wine regions of Italy.

    Veneto's appellation called Valpolicella (meaning “valley of cellars” in Italian) is a series of north to south valleys and is the source of the region’s best red wine with the same name. Valpolicella—the wine—is juicy, spicy, tart and packed full of red cherry flavors. Corvina makes up the backbone of the blend with Rondinella, Molinara, Croatina and others playing supporting roles. Amarone, a dry red, and Recioto, a sweet wine, follow the same blending patterns but are made from grapes left to dry for a few months before pressing. The drying process results in intense, full-bodied, heady and often, quite cerebral wines.

    Soave, based on the indigenous Garganega grape, is the famous white here—made ultra popular in the 1970s at a time when quantity was more important than quality. Today one can find great values on whites from Soave, making it a perfect choice as an everyday sipper! But the more recent local, increased focus on low yields and high quality winemaking in the original Soave zone, now called Soave Classico, gives the real gems of the area. A fine Soave Classico will exhibit a round palate full of flavors such as ripe pear, yellow peach, melon or orange zest and have smoky and floral aromas and a sapid, fresh, mineral-driven finish.

    Much of Italy’s Pinot grigio hails from the Veneto, where the crisp and refreshing style is easy to maintain; the ultra-popular sparkling wine, Prosecco, comes from here as well.
