Region
A wide and temperate agricultural region stretching from Venice to Verona and north to the Alpine foothills. In the west around Lake Garda, are the important generic wines - Valpolicella, Soave and Bardolino. Much of Italy`s commercial Pinot Grigio and Merlot is grown further east, but the Prosecco grape makes the region`s distinctly fashionable sparkling wine. However the recent popularity of Amarone and Ripasso has really re-established this region as one of Italy best wine growing areas and quality is out of all recognition from the light carafe wines of the early 80`s.
Producer
The origins of the Fabiano family in the wine business stretch back to 1912, when Francesco Fabiano opened a wine shop in Venice. Today the company operates some 84 hectares of vineyards around Lake Garda and the city of Verona.
Tasting (Long)
This is a typical Pinot Grigio from northeast Italy made by the excellent Fabiano winery on the outskirts of Verona. A brilliant straw yellow colour, elegant perfume of acacia flowers, almonds and dried fruit. A soft, well-balanced palate combines citrus, exotic fruit and fresh apples. Elegant and dry.
