Paladin Raboso Fiore Spumante Dry

Paladin Raboso Fiore Spumante Dry is a lively, ruby-hued sparkling wine that shows off one of Veneto’s most characterful native grapes in a playful, modern style. Crafted from Raboso Piave, it combines vibrant fruit, gentle sweetness and refreshing acidity for a truly distinctive take on Italian bubbles. This non-vintage spumante pays homage to an old local tradition of lightly sparkling Raboso, updated with Paladin’s polished, contemporary winemaking.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Spumante Dry reveals a bright cherry-red to ruby color, crowned by a fine and persistent mousse. The nose is generous and inviting, with aromas of wild strawberries, red cherries and pomegranate, layered with hints of rose petals, violet, citrus zest and a subtle touch of spice. On the palate, Raboso’s naturally high acidity gives the wine a crisp, mouthwatering backbone, perfectly balanced by a gentle off-dry sweetness. Juicy flavors of fresh red berries, cranberry and sour cherry are joined by notes of blood orange and a delicate herbal lift, leading to a clean, refreshing finish. This is a wine made to be enjoyed young for its exuberant fruit and vibrancy, though it will hold well for a couple of years if stored correctly, preserving its freshness and sparkle.

Production
Sourced from vineyards in the eastern Veneto, the Raboso Piave grapes grow on alluvial soils rich in gravel and minerals, benefiting from cool breezes and good diurnal temperature shifts that help preserve acidity and aromatic intensity. The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness to balance Raboso’s natural vigor and tannin, then gently pressed to extract the vibrant color and fresh fruit expression. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel to protect the grape’s aromatics, followed by a second fermentation in pressurized tanks using the Charmat/Martinotti method to create fine, persistent bubbles. The wine is finished in a Dry style, leaving a touch of residual sugar to soften Raboso’s edge and highlight its generous fruit.

Food & Serving
Paladin Raboso Fiore Spumante Dry is an ideal match for charcuterie, salumi, and lightly spiced antipasti, as well as pizza, tomato-based appetizers, and finger foods. It also pairs beautifully with Asian-inspired dishes that balance sweet, sour, and spice, or with fruit tarts, berry desserts, and soft, mild cheeses. Serve well-chilled at about 6–8°C (43–46°F) to emphasize its freshness and lively acidity. Decanting is not necessary; simply open and pour, allowing the fine bubbles and fragrant red-fruit aromas to shine.
