During the 1980s-90s, a winemaker in the Terre del Piave wanted to add, in the spring, to Raboso, produced in the previous autumn, a portion of wine made from the same carefully selected grapes and left to dry for a few months on trellises in properly ventilated environments. The wine obtained with the addition of the passito had gained body, structure and personality, losing its sometimes aggressive edginess to acquire roundness and elegance. Malanotte del Piave Docg is the ultimate expression of Raboso del Piave and its territory: an austere, full-bodied and very fragrant wine. Sight: ruby red color tending to garnet. Nose: wine with very elegant and complex aromas that give off hints of morello cherry and cherry. Reminiscent of cocoa and berries. The scents then also deepen spicy hints of pepper, licorice. Taste: intense, full-bodied wine with adequate acidity that brings to mind the typicality of the Raboso grape from which it is derived.

We recommend serving this wine at a temperature of about 16 to 18 degrees Celsius.
