Description

Fabiano Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG

Fabiano Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG showcases the rich winemaking tradition of Veneto, Italy. Since 1912, the Fabiano family has crafted wines that express the character and heritage of this renowned region. Today, the fourth generation continues that legacy with a strong focus on quality, authenticity, and limited-production wines.

Fabiano produces its wines in the heart of Valpolicella and works closely with long-standing grape growers. As a result, the winery maintains a deep connection to vineyards that have contributed to its success for generations. Rather than pursuing large production volumes, Fabiano focuses on exceptional quality in every bottle. Furthermore, the winery preserves traditional methods while embracing modern winemaking expertise.

To create Fabiano Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG, growers hand-pick grapes from the prestigious Valpolicella Classico zone. Afterwards, they dry the grapes using the traditional appassimento method. Consequently, the fruit develops greater concentration, depth, and complexity. Because of this, the wine delivers the richness and elegance that Amarone lovers expect.

In the glass, Fabiano Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG displays a deep garnet-red colour. The nose reveals aromas of dried cherry, blackberry, sweet spice, cocoa, and subtle tobacco. Meanwhile, the palate offers concentrated fruit flavours, velvety tannins, and remarkable structure. In addition, the long finish adds further complexity and refinement.

This iconic Italian red pairs beautifully with slow-cooked meats, game dishes, mature cheeses, and hearty Italian cuisine. Whether you enjoy it now or cellar it for future occasions, Fabiano Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG delivers an authentic taste of one of Italy’s most celebrated wine regions. Ultimately, it reflects more than a century of family dedication and winemaking excellence.
