Description
The history of the Fabiano Winery was founded in 1912 when the founder Francesco Fabiano, with his son Sergio, began to sell their wines in the city of Venice and from this expands its activity in the Veneto hinterland to Verona. At the end of the fifties Sergio Fabiano and his sons moved permanently to Verona, initially in the Cellar of Colà di Lazise where the trade activity took place in all of Northern Italy. In the following decade the family began the construction of a new winery in Sona which became, starting in the early seventies, one of the largest wineries in Italy in terms of volumes of wine produced. The commercial growth of the eighties and nineties saw Fabiano wines exported to all the main countries of the world in ever increasing volumes making Fabiano one of the main wineries of the Verona and national oenology.
The FABIANO Vajo del Centenario was conceived with the 1999 vintage, to celebrate the Company’s 90th anniversary in 2002. In 2012, reaching 100 years of history, it became the wine of the Centenary. It is a wine of particular value produced in a limited quantity of 6000 bottles in only the vintages favorable to obtaining an adequate quality level. The blend combines the large structure of the withered Corvina with the international style of Cabernet Sauvignon.
GRAPES: 60% Corvina, 25% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon
TASTING NOTES: The intense, almost impenetrable colour and lively tonality are signs of a wine worthy of respect. The respect increases with the bouquet and the attention then focuses on the captivating characteristics of ripened fruit, caressed by delicately spiced wood, which leads the way to an elegant evolution. The palate lingers, with fine and lasting tannins, perfectly warm and savoury. An absolutely enjoyable wine.
