Raboso is a wine with very ancient origins, whose name many historians claim derives from its namesake tributary of the Piave River. This vine has been present in Italy since before the advent of Rome; Pliny the Elder mentioned it in his Naturalis Historia and described it as a wine "blacker than pitch." Today it is referred to as being "Rabbioso," given by its marked acidity. The Raboso Piave is an indigenous vine whose cultivation extends along the banks of the river Piave, it was for a long time considered a "rustic" and resistant vine so much so that it easily overcame the spread of phylloxera at the end of the nineteenth century; it ripens late and its harvest, in our organic vineyards, takes place in the period between the end of October and November: the result is an excellent aging wine.
