Wines made from Carmenère grapes of Piave
Discover the best wines made with Carmenère as a single variety or as a blend of Piave.
Velvety, deep reds with a dark robe and round tannins, showing aromas of blackberry, plum, ripe red pepper, dark chocolate, coffee and gentle spice. Warm, supple finish. Absolute star of Chile (Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maipo) where it was rediscovered in 1994, long confused with Merlot. A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.
Fruity and accessible, these Merlot-dominated reds appeal with signature aromas of plum, red cherry, supple tannins and gourmand palate. The Cabernets bring firmer herbaceous notes. The native Raboso yields more tannic and acidic reds, elevated to DOCG Piave Malanotte (ageworthy). Few minority whites (Pinot Grigio, Verduzzo).
