Harry F. Mariani, who with his brother made a fortune introducing Americans to Italian wines, first through the chilled, sparkling sweet red Riunite promoted with a ubiquitous slogan, died on Tuesday in Huntington, N.Y. He was 78.
Joe Janish, a spokesman for Banfi Vintners, confirmed the death but did not specify a cause. Banfi was founded in 1919 on Spring Street in Lower Manhattan by Mr. Mariani's father, John Sr., and three of his brothers, who named it for an aunt, Teodolinda Banfi, an amateur vintner.
