Fabiano Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore DOC

Originally Venetian wine traders in 1912, the Fabiano family moved to Verona in 1956 to produce wine on a larger scale, sourcing fruit from Estate and contract vineyards in Soave, Bardolino, and Valpolicella.

From vineyards located in the hills of Valpolicella Classica, with particular interest in the municipalities of Negrar and S. Pietro in Cariano, on loose red soils with good presence of limestone, this is a wine of ancient origins (hence the historic label) for its conception, where the Ripasso technique represents the tradition of Valpolicella and allows to obtain a wine with a singular complexity and personality.
