Discover the best wines made with Raboso Piave as a single variety or as a blend of France.
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.
France, home of Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne, is arguably the world's largest wine-producing country. For centuries, it has produced more wine - and apparently better quality - than any other country. Wine is embedded in French culture at almost every level of society; it is the drink of the elite and the common people, and a key symbol of Roman Catholicism, the majority religion in France. However, the lasting appeal of French wine is not necessarily its Volume or prestige, but rather the variety of styles available.
