Serafini & Vidotto
From the first wine in 1987 to last year’s vintage, we have always only produced what we like. A choice that immediately required us to take account of what we had and what was missing in order to make it. Transforming what was not there, or couldn’t be transformed, into our strength, also through radical decisions, uprooting and replanting when required. Seeking balance in the vineyard and in the cellar, with a fixed idea about quality, about the production of great red wines. Choices that after thirty years have created the distinctiveness and character of our wines.
Description
Phigaia After the Red is ruby red with great luminosity and a slight garnet hue on the rim. The first nose is intense, ample and inviting with fruity notes of sour cherries and blackcurrants. Then there are elegant vegetal perceptions of officinal herbs and roasted peppers. The entry on the palate is excellent and convincing, with fresh, fruity notes, round tannins of great elegance that add softness to a savoury background and balanced alcohol content; a long, spicy finish with notes of liquorice.
Food Pairing
Phigaia After the Red is outstanding with braised veal cheeks or with rosemary lamb chops, venison stews, roast beef. Also excellent with medium-aged cheeses.
