Repetition of the name of the wine reinforces the idea that the only thing on Fortunato's mind is tasting the wine and that he has no clue that he is in any danger whatsoever in being alone with Montresor in such a secluded place. It also creates an image of a drunken man fixated on one thing only, more wine.
