This is an expressive and intense Amarone with bright tones of black cherry, candied fruit, exotic spice, leather and tobacco. It washes over the palate with smooth and soft fruit intensity. The long fade offers lingering notes of clove and peppercorn.

This Amarone presents well overall, although the nose is slightly muddled in places, preventing the wine from scoring higher. Aromas include chocolate, roasted almond, sweet pinewood, resin bramble, dried raspberry and clove. It has tight tannins and firm structure overall.

Charged up and a bit acidic, with aromas of smoke, under brush and leather along with some nicely integrated wood. Solid, with requisite dark-fruit and chocolate flavors. But there’s no doubt that it’s zesty, bordering on racy. Nice but could use more mouthfeel.

A bit more racy than most, with fresh fruit on the nose, some minerality and quite a bit of snap. Cherry and cranberry flavors vie with richer dark-fruit notes, while the finish is spicy and long. More of an old-school wine, and one that should do well with meat and hearty pastas.

Fairly round and harmonious, with spice, leather and some sweaty rubber on the nose. Comes along snappy once it hits the palate, thus the cherry and raspberry flavors are a touch sharp. Seems to have a touch of bretty character.

Basic but very solid, with leather, cedar, earth and mild red-fruit aromas. Feels nice on the tongue, with raspberry flavors, some citrus and a bit of rubber. Nicely textured and big on the finish. Overall it’s satisfying and solid.

Fabiano’s pretty Valpolicella Classico Superiore offers very nice aromas of plump red cherry followed by spice, leather, tobacco and moist earth. It’s a simple wine in the mouth but it’s not without its own distinct personality and appeal.

Recioto’s saturated ruby color is irresistible and Fabiano’s version is an excellent example. The aromas are vibrant and generous, including black cherry, blueberry, exotic spice, caramel, toasted almond and chocolate. This wine has a chewy texture with sweet tannins and long-lasting chocolate-like flavors.

Here’s an interesting sparkler made with the relatively unknown Torbiana grape (from northern Italy) with a mature golden color and smoky notes of peach, pineapple and toasted bread. It’s very drinkable with balanced creaminess and freshness.

Fabiano’s pretty Amarone showcases loads of floral aromas that recall dried lavender and rose potpourri. You’ll also get cola tones and red berry fruit backed by a soft, luscious mouthfeel and smooth tannins. Pair this with roasted lamb and cranberry chutney.
