Serafini and Vidotto Phigaia

In the glass

Aroma: red cherry, plum, cedar, light tobacco

Palate: fresh red fruit, medium tannins, herbs, light spice

Phigaia is the accessible second wine from Serafini and Vidotto, allowing the estate to express the Montello terroir at a lower price point. The Cabernet Franc and Merlot blend is lighter, fresher and more immediately enjoyable than Il Rosso dell'Abazia.

What it pairs with

• Tagliatelle al ragu di carne
  Medium-bodied red with good acidity is a natural match for fresh pasta and meat ragu.
• Pizza margherita
  Herby, medium-tannin red pairs naturally with tomato and mozzarella.
• Grilled pork with polenta
  Medium structure and red fruit handle the mild pork-and-polenta combination elegantly.

History

Phigaia was developed as a younger, more accessible expression from the Serafini and Vidotto Montello estate. While Il Rosso dell'Abazia ages in barrel for up to two years, Phigaia uses a shorter regimen for a fresher, more fruit-forward profile from the same Bordeaux varieties.
