The Piave DOC production area is located between the Treviso hills and Friuli, with Montello to the north and the Venetian lagoon to the south, along the axis of the Piave river. The adequately ventilated and bright territory favours the fulfillment of all the vegetative-productive functions of the vineyards and the terroir is characterised by clay soil and mineral salts. The red wines of DOC Piave are characterized by high structure, great balance between the different components and a high softness on the palate.

Carmen?re DOC Piave. Carmen?re is a dark-skinned grape variety originally from the vineyards of Bordeaux, France and which has found a particularly suitable home in Chile. A late ripening variety, Carm?n?re needs high levels of sunshine and a warm summer to reach its full potential, but in the right environment it can produce fine, deeply colored red wines, with the attractive meaty plumpness of Merlot and the gently herbaceous notes of Cabernet Sauvignon. Carmen?re was widely planted in France until the 1860s, when the phylloxera louse (to which Carm?n?re vines are particularly susceptible) arrived in Europe from the Americas and the variety was largely abandoned because Carmen?re doesn't respond as well to grafting as Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. In the mid 90s, Carmen?re arrived in northern Italy, where it was mistaken for a Cabernet. Carmen?re only began to get officially recognised in IGT and DOC wines in the late 2000s.

The colour is ruby red with violet highlights. The scent is fragrant and intense, with hints of violet, blackberry and rocket. The flavour is fresh, dry and a pleasant acidity.

Great with red meats, cold meats, seasoned cheeses, mushrooms.
