Serafini&Vidotto

When a charming extrovert and a quiet perfectionist team up to make wine, magic tends to happen. Francesco Serafini and Antonio Vidotto are the unlikely duo behind one of Veneto’s most trailblazing wineries. Since the mid-1980s, they’ve been crafting age-worthy, Bordeaux-style reds in Asolo—yes, _in the land of Prosecco_. Their location at the foot of the Dolomites, where river-pebbled soils meet alpine breezes, is more red-wine-friendly than you’d think. And Serafini & Vidotto took full advantage. Back when most of their neighbors were playing it safe, these two planted Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, aged the wines in barriques, and bet big on quality. They didn’t just succeed—they helped revive the region’s long-lost love affair with serious red wine. Case in point? Recantina: a native grape they rescued from obscurity that now headlines their lineup. With their daring, terroir-driven blends and unwavering dedication to the land, Serafini & Vidotto have carved out a bold red path in bubbly territory. Drink up, rebels. * * *
