Description

This vine has been present along the banks of the rivers Piave and Livenza for more of two centuries. Its name "Raboso" it is probably due to its acidity and might come from the dialectal expression "Rabioso", used to indicate an unripe and not pleasing fruit. "Veronese" it is thought to come from the origin of the first people who cultivate this vine in these zones. When young it is a wine for a whole meal, especially suggested for traditional dishes such as pasta and beans, but also with stews, white meats and young cheeses.
