Grape ROBAZO PIAVE

Italian heritage meets regional viticulture

The Raboso Piave variety, offered by the Lazurnaya Yagoda nursery, represents a strategic adaptation of the classic Italian autochthon from the Veneto region. In the landscape of commercial viticulture, this technical cultivar has carved out a niche for itself by providing winemakers with dense, tannin-rich grapes that feature a distinct fruit-forward profile, perfect for crafting wines with significant aging potential.

Cultivation and characteristics

The vine is characterized by vigorous growth, requiring precise canopy management and load control to maintain vine balance. Being a perfect-flowered variety, it ensures consistent pollination, which translates into reliable high yields. As a late-maturing variety, it is ideally suited for southern regions, where the cumulative active temperatures allow the berries to reach optimal sugar levels and phenolic ripeness.

• Clusters: Large and substantial, typically weighing between 500 and 800 grams.
• Berries: Displaying a deep blue-to-black color, the fruit maintains excellent integrity through the harvest period.
• Application: Strictly a technical variety, specifically selected for the production of high-quality red wines.

The reputation of Lazurnaya Yagoda as an originator ensures the consistency and health of the planting material, which is critical for long-term vineyard success. Given its late-harvest nature, Raboso Piave is a choice for producers who prioritize depth, acidity, and structure in their final products, hallmarks that define the signature style of Raboso-based wines.
