Serrai

Valdobbiadene Superiore Docg
Complete personality
The Treviso dialect in the Vidor area is in fact a second language. The one on the left bank of the Piave River has a different sound and is immediately distinguishable. Serrai indicates, in Treviso dialect, the menagerie, i.e. the place where farmyard animals were once kept.
Today, the Serrai area, close to the Vettoretti family’s birthplace and the winery, produces one of La Tordera’s most versatile sparkling wines, already awarded by Decanter, the Serrai Extra Dry.
The work in the vineyards of the Glera grapes is intense: the vineyard is located on the slopes of the Vidor hills at an altitude of 200 metres above sea level, ventilated and sunny.
The warmth of the earth is recognisable in the fragrances and taste of this sparkling wine with the colour of sunshine, a flavour reminiscent of the sweetness of ripe fruit and a perfume reminiscent of the scent of certain flowers such as calla lilies and campanula.
