De Stefani Malanotte del Piave 2016
Malanotte del Piave is produced from Raboso Piave grapes, the most famous native variety of the river Piave valley. To the characteristics of the potentially long ageing wines, colour, tannins and acidity, the Raboso unites an intense blackberry and cherry aroma. The closeness to the Adriatic Sea and the Dolomiti mountains, the high density of the vineyard and the clay soil give the wine a very rich body and a natural harmony.

Colour

Deep ruby red with garnet reflections.

Bouquet

Full and ample reminiscent of blackberry and cherry jam, melted chocolate and tobacco.

Flavour

Strong, dry and astringent, with a slight basic acidity. Excellent extract, and lively alcohol content.

Pairing

Ideal with game, grilled meat and aged cheeses.

History Raboso, an indigenous black grape variety typical of the Marca Trevigiana, has very ancient origins: in fact, it has been cultivated in the eastern Veneto region for around 3000 years. The name Raboso recalls the adjective 'rabioso', a dialect term used to describe a fruit that is still a little unripe and therefore a little astringent. In the past, when a child was born, it was customary to preserve the Raboso produced that year for its wedding day. Malanotte was the name of a family of Venetian nobles who knew how to enhance the production of this wine.
