The estate : Francesco Serafini and Antonello Vidotto founded the 20-hectare estate bearing their names in 1986. At that time, few vineyards existed in this very young DOC of Montello e Colli Asolani, located northwest of the city of Treviso in Veneto. Nevertheless, they fell in love with the valley, the hills, as well as the woods and banks of the Piave River. The passion of these two men for their region is undoubtedly reflected in their wines, where the pursuit of finesse and purity magnifies their clay-iron-rich terroir.
