Discover the best wines made with Raboso Piave as a single variety or as a blend of Lujan de Cuyo.
Structured, tannic reds with an inky robe, firm tannins and sharp high acidity (hence its name, rabbioso = fierce), with aromas of sour cherry, blackberry, plum, spice, leather, tobacco and balsamic notes. Fine ageing potential after several years of elevage. Star of Piave Malanotte DOCG (partly from dried grapes) and Piave Raboso DOC in the province of Treviso, along the Piave river. Very late-ripening autochthonous Venetian variety.
America's first DOC, the consecrated terroir of the world's Malbec in Mendoza on the Andean piedmont (825-1,080 m). Signature Malbec (>9,000 ha here): dense, velvety reds with signature notes of blackberry, plum, violet, cocoa and sweet spices, round tannins and bright fruit — the grape's maximum expression. Also firm Cabernet Sauvignon, supple Bonarda, spicy Tempranillo, peppery Syrah. Chardonnay, Sauvignon whites.
