Fabiano

Verona appassimento specialist. Amarone and Valpolicella Ripasso from indigenous grapes.

Fabiano produces wines from Verona, in the heart of Veneto's classical wine country. The winery focuses on the indigenous varieties of the Valpolicella region: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara. These grapes form the backbone of two flagship Amarones—the Riserva I Fondatori and the Classico I Fondatori—both structured around the appassimento method, in which grapes are dried before fermentation to concentrate flavor and alcohol. The Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso, a mid-weight expression, blends the same core varieties with Sangiovese. Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Decanter have all assessed the portfolio. The Amarone Riserva I Fondatori achieved a prestige average of 91.0, while the Classico iteration scored 89.8. The Ripasso registered 88.3. These ratings reflect the technical demands of appassimento winemaking and the regional typicity these wines express.
