DESCRIPTION
During the 80s and 90s of the last century, a winemaker from the Terre del Piave wanted to add, in spring, to the Raboso, produced in the previous autumn, a part of the wine obtained from the same carefully selected grapes and left to dry for a few months on racks in properly ventilated environments. The wine obtained with the addition of passito had acquired body, structure and personality, losing its sometimes aggressive angularity to acquire roundness and elegance. Malanotte del Piave Docg is the maximum expression of Raboso del Piave and its territory: austere, full-bodied and very fragrant wine.

VINIFICATION
In classic red for about 70%, while the remainder of the grapes (around 30%) is left to dry for about 90 days. The assembled wine rests for about 24 months in oak barrels and barriques, followed by an aging of at least 6 months in the bottle. The MALANOTTE DOCG must be marketed after at least 36 months starting from November 1st of the harvest year.
