Raboso del Piave

Region: Veneto
Type: Red
Producer: Giorgio Cecchetto
Grapes: 100% Raboso (comes fromo the Italian word "Rabbioso," meaning 'angry')

Vintification:

A typical grape, an ancient, of the Piave DOC. Has a very long growing cycle. One of the first to sprout and last to be harvested. Strong and fiery, needs to be tamed and the time to do it. Raboso is the ONLY Native red wine variety of Marca Trevigiana.

Tasting Notes:

Aromas of morello cherry, blackberry and violet. Dry and austere in the mouth, with a tannic and acidic note pleasantly smoothed on the finish. Taste Old Veneto in a glass right here in this wine.
