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)
The picturesque town of Soave is situated to the northeast of Verona in the Veneto region. The town is surrounded by ancient walls and dominated by the medieval castle. The Classico wine is the heart of the region, planted with Garganega, Trebbiano and Chardonnay vines and producing the best Soaves, with real character. ‘Villa Piazzola’ has a typical hazelnut and almond nose with a soft, dry palate of concentrated apple and pear flavours.
