Vineyard and terroir
The Merlot fruit is grown in Veneto.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested from late September to early October. They undergo 100% carbonic maceration in stainless-steel tanks, followed by fermentation at controlled low temperatures.
Ageing
The wine is bottled young, without prior ageing.
Tasting profile
Fresh and fruity, with abundant fruit aromas and flavours, its taste resembles that of Beaujolais Nouveau.
Label / history
“Vino Novello” means “young wine” in Italian. Unlike Beaujolais Nouveau, it may be produced from different grape varieties and is officially released on 6 November, 11 days before its French counterpart. This Novello was a new addition to the Fabiano range.
Fabiano was founded in 1912, when Francesco Fabiano opened a wine shop in Venice near St Mark’s Basilica. The company initially concentrated on selling wine. In 1955 it acquired a small estate in the Veronese area, on the shores of Lake Garda, where the first Fabiano wines were produced.
