Italo Cescon's Cabernet Sauvignon Riserva Piave D.O.C. represents one of the most structured and long-lived expressions of the Piave territory. Cabernet, a grape variety of Bordeaux origin, has found an ideal habitat in Eastern Veneto, capable of enhancing its structure, elegance, and aging potential over time. The grapes come from approximately 40-year-old vineyards located in Fagarè della Battaglia (TV), on clayey soils cultivated with the Guyot system and high planting density. The harvest, carried out manually in the last ten days of September, selects only perfectly ripe bunches. After destemming and crushing, a 3/4 day cold pre-fermentative maceration is performed, followed by alcoholic and malolactic fermentation at a controlled temperature. Maturation continues in oak barrels for 24 months and is completed with 12 months of aging in the bottle, giving the wine complexity, balance, and aromatic depth.
In the glass, it presents a full ruby red color. The bouquet is intense and complex, with evident notes of wild berries and spices, enriched by elegant ethereal accents derived from the wood. On the palate, it is warm and dry, with good depth and harmony, and a natural freshness that leads to a persistent finish. Ideal with roasted red meats, poultry, game, and wild game, it also pairs perfectly with aged cheeses. In the Venetian tradition, it best expresses its personality with "trippe alla veneta" (Venetian-style tripe), "bollito misto" (mixed boiled meats), or "spezzatino di vitello" (veal stew).
