“To speak about Raboso to me is like to tell the story of my family, of when we from early age harvested these grapes in the eve of the Day of the Dead, and they gave immensely powerful wine with untamable nature. It is like speaking of wine with origins dating back to 1600, a fellow-traveler resistant to long sea voyages thanks to its acidity; surely a wine that represents well its native land. It’s an intense ruby wine to be discovered in every sip. In terms of scent it has a broad Bouget rich in field pansy and marasca cherry that take over; it’s dry in the mouth, austere in its acidity, later to become velvety and lean. I recommend that you taste it with spit-roasted or stewed meat and aged cheese. If in summer you let it rest in the fridge for a few minutes it will satiate your thirst to your heart’s content.” Lorenzo Gatti
