What we like about this Raboso wine, which we have named “Genium” in memory of grandfather Eugenio, known to everyone as “Genio”, is the distinct acidity and tannicity of the grape variety. These characteristics made it one of the wines most marketed by the Serenissima, who called it “Vin da viajo” (travel wine), because it was not sensitive to mould, cold or even the passage of time. On the contrary, ageing refines the tannins while maintaining fullness of colour and aroma.
