De Stefani Malanotte del Piave DOCG 2020, 0,75 L

Picking up the bottle of the 2020 Malanotte, you immediately sense this is no light, lively sip. Weighing in at a solid 1.7 kilos, it promises a powerhouse of character.

In the glass, its nearly black colour with garnet reflections hints at its depth—dense, mysterious, and inviting.

The nose is a revelation: dried cherries, sultanas, dark chocolate, vanilla, and spicy notes of cloves and tobacco, with subtle roasted undertones. With time and air, fresh herbs, menthol, and even eucalyptus emerge, showcasing incredible complexity.

On the palate, the wine bursts with intense fruit, vibrant acidity, and the signature pressure of Raboso. Liquorice, wood, nuts, and mint unfold over a dense tannin structure, leading to a long, cool, and powerful finish.

In short, this wine needs time and air to fully shine—but those who give it the attention it deserves will be rewarded. An exceptional wine that will captivate even Amarone enthusiasts.
