Fabiano Italian Red
A soft Veneto red, stocked in small numbers in Commack.
The story behind Fabiano
Ripasso is a Veneto method where young Valpolicella wine is run back over the skins left from Amarone, picking up extra color, body and dried cherry depth. The result drinks richer than a basic Valpolicella but stays fresh and food friendly, with soft tannin and moderate alcohol.
We keep Fabiano Valpolicella Ripasso in Commack in very small numbers, often just a bottle or two at a time. If it shows out of stock, call us at (631) 343-7200 and we will tell you when the next case lands.

Which Fabiano is right for you?
The Fabiano Valpolicella Ripasso 750mL is $16.99, which is honest money for a Ripasso. That price buys you the weight of an Amarone method wine without the Amarone tariff, so it earns a place at the table rather than the back of the cabinet. We stock it thin, so grab it when it is here.
Enough body for braised meat, still bright enough to pour before dinner.
Soft tannin and cherry fruit that will not fight a red sauce.
