Malanotte del Piave is produced from Raboso Piave grapes, the most famous native variety of the Piave valley. To the characteristics of the potentially long aging wines, colour, tannins and acidity, the Raboso unites an intense blackberry and cherry aroma. The closeness to the Adriatic Sea and to the Dolomiti mountains, the high density of the vineyard and the clay soil give the wine a very rich body and a natural harmony.

Grapes: Raboso Piave
Historical Notes: the Raboso, native vine with black berries typical of Treviso, has ancient origins: it is grown in Eastern Veneto, around 3000 years ago. The name recalls the adjective "rabioso", a dialect term that means “angry” used to describe a fruit that is still a bit harsh and therefore astringent. In the past, when a child was born, there was the custom to preserve the Raboso produced in that vintage for his wedding day.
Alcohol content: 15-17,5% vol.
Tasting Characteristics: intense ruby red colour with garnet hues. Full and wide bouquet, reminiscent of blackberry and cherry jam, melted chocolate and tobacco. Straight flavour, dry and austere taste, with a slight acid backbase. Great extract, exuberant the alcoholic endowment.
Food Matching: ideal with game (hare, pheasant or guinea fowl stew or sauce peverada), grilled meat and seasoned cheeses.

It is in the Piave D.O.C. wines area. Piave is t [...] Read more
