Del Piave D.O.C.

Origin and vinification: Raboso Passito del Piave DOC wine origins along the left shore of river Piave, from the selection of the best Raboso grapes. The “late harvest”, as in our best wine production tradition, is set forth in late autumn. Then a slight withering follows in rooms where temperature and humidity guarantee a very good conservation of grapes. After racking, grapes maceration begins and goes on for ca. 20 days. Before selling, this product is set to rest for some months in little oak casks, this with the purpose of letting the fermentation process come to an end. At last the wine is ‘sweetly’ refined in bottle.
