The 2024 Serafini & Vidotto Cabernet IGT Trevenezie is a vibrant, youthful expression of Cabernet (typically a blend of Sauvignon and Franc) grown in the mineral-rich soils of the Treviso hills. As a 2024 vintage, it is characterized by its freshness and immediate accessibility.
Key Characteristics
- Appearance: A deep, bright ruby red with violet reflections, typical of a young Cabernet.
- Aromatic Profile: The nose is dominated by primary red and black fruits—think crunchy blackcurrant, wild blackberry, and plum. It often carries a subtle, characteristic herbaceous note of tomato leaf or green peppercorn.
- Palate & Texture: On the tongue, it is medium-bodied and balanced. Because it is often fermented in stainless steel to preserve its fruit purity, the tannins are present but smooth and supple rather than aggressive. It finishes with a clean, savoury minerality.
Serving & Pairing
- Ideal Temperature: Best enjoyed slightly below room temperature (around 16-18°C) to keep the fruit flavours sharp.
- Food Match: Its high acidity and moderate body make it a “workhorse” wine. It pairs naturally with grilled white or red meats, pasta with meat-based ragù, or medium-aged cheeses like Asiago.
