It is one of the most typical grape varieties of Piave DOC. It shows its character alread in the vineyard, with its very long growing cycle it is the first variety to sprout, and one of the last to be harvested. Strong and fiery, it require a long time to give the best of itself, with a full and pleasant bouquet that reminds of morello cherry, blackberry and violet. Dry and austere in the mouth, with a tannic and acid note pleasantly smoothed by its alcoholic strength.
