Cecchetto

Raboso del Piave D.O.C.

A Masterpiece. Simply put, this wine is an unmissable addition to the cellars of the full-bodied red wine lovers. Ruby red in colour, with a full aroma of dark berries, cherries, and vanilla, along with leather and tobacco. Quite dry, austere and astringent palate, well structured with acidity and tannins pleasantly smoothed by the alcoholic strength. This wine is made from 100% Raboso Piave grapes, which are harvested when slightly overripe. The grapes are macerated in oak barrels for 12-15 days, then the wine is matured in large oak barrels for 18 months, and partly in barriques for 12 months. A final 6 months of aging occurs in the bottle before release.  This makes it very suitable for cellar aging. Raboso is an ancient wine, grown in the Piave River valley of the Veneto region before the time of the Roman Empire.
