Label / history
The Benedictine monastery Abazia di Nervesa was founded near Nervesa della Battaglia in the 11th century. Its monks cultivated grapes and made wine, developing a large estate that survived until it was destroyed in 1918 during the First World War. In 1986, Francesco Serafini and Antonello Vidotto began reviving the former monastic wine estate. Using old documents and maps, they set out to recreate its historical landscape by restoring its architecture and vineyards. This work, including the selection of local vines, continues today.
