Description

This kind of vine has been present in our land, along 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.

Vineyard

It is a vine very rustic that comes to ripeness late, with a good resistance to illnesses, that adapt itself to every kind of plain soil (stony, clayey or sandy), growing always with vigour. The grape has a cylindrical shape, with a wing, medium compactness and big with a peduncle well visible. Acinus medium, spheric a little long. The skin is of a blue-black colourcoriaceous, astringent, thick. The pulp is acidulous and not very sweet.
