Serafini & Vidotto, Phigaia, 6 Bottle Case

The Merlot grapes are picked at the end of September and the Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are picked in late October. All grapes are manually harvested and transported to the gravity fed winery. After a period of maceration the grapes are pressed and fall through into the level beneath to ferment. The building is designed to remain at perfect temperatures for the wine, it is very rare that they use thermostatic temperature control. The wine is aged for 13 to 18 months, dependent on the variety and vintage in oak. And then transferred to bottle to mature for a minimum 2 years more.
