The Confraternita
del Raboso Piave was founded
on 27 December 1996 and is based in Vazzola,
a wine-producing town in the province of Treviso.
The primary goal of this important confraternity is to disseminate
knowledge of Raboso Piave,
to promote its consumption, to conserve, develop and highlight
the great traditions of this noble wine and foster activities
aimed at improving and broadening members' wine and food culture
and knowledge. |
|
|
| |
|
|
The
Confraternita also organises various events
so as to promote and develop friendship, loyalty, solidarity
and mutual respect among members in the best traditions of
the Terre del Piave..
The Confraternita, which is supported by the Treviso
Regional Executive and other local authorities, is engaged
in ongoing studies of the Raboso Piave vine in order to enhance
the prestige of both the vine and the wine made from its grapes.

The
Confraternity also collaborates - with the participation of the wine-producing
estates - with the Department of Agricultural Science of
the University of Padua in order to identify the best cultivation
techniques for winemaking; to fully understand the potential of dried
Raboso Piave grapes; to study the possible technological alternatives
for wine ageing; to explore in depth the sensory characteristics of
the wines and gain an understanding of health aspects regarding the
consumption of this wine. |

The Confraternity has a broad, ambitious
agenda, but in the first few years
of its existence it has already achieved important results regarding
increases in production yield and quality, which
have met with international approval and acclaim. Its ultimate objective
is to obtain the awarding of DOCG status to Raboso Piave.
