Red wine | Veneto
Embark on a sensory adventure with the Cecchetto Raboso del Piave, a wine that encapsulates the rustic charm and vibrant flavors of the Veneto region. This isn't just a bottle of wine; it's a story woven from the unique Raboso grape, cultivated in the fertile lands kissed by the Piave river. 
Cecchetto, a name synonymous with tradition and quality, meticulously crafts this wine to showcase the Raboso grape's distinctive character. Its ruby-red hue hints at the captivating experience to come. The first swirl releases an aromatic bouquet of dark cherries, plums, and a subtle hint of violets, all underpinned by a gentle earthy note reminiscent of the Veneto soil.
On the palate, the Raboso del Piave is a delightful paradox. It’s known for its firm tannins and brisk acidity, which create a beautifully structured wine. The initial dryness gives way to a cascade of fruity flavors, echoing the aromas with an added touch of spice. Its medium body makes it versatile enough to pair with a wide array of dishes.
Imagine savoring this wine alongside traditional Venetian cuisine. Its acidity cuts through the richness of creamy risotto or polenta, while its fruit-forward profile complements grilled meats and aged cheeses. For a truly authentic experience, try it with "sopa coada," a hearty pigeon soup that's a regional specialty. This wine also shines with earthy dishes like mushroom pasta or roasted root vegetables.
The Cecchetto Raboso del Piave is more than just a wine; it's an invitation to explore the heart of Veneto. Whether you're a seasoned wine connoisseur or an adventurous beginner, this bottle offers a taste of Italy's rich winemaking heritage. Serve it slightly chilled, around 16°C (60°F), to best express its complex flavors. Decant for 15 minutes, and then enjoy the beautiful journey of this unique wine.
This wine is bottled poetry and is best enjoyed with food, friends, and memorable moments. Salute!
