Description
IL fauno is sourced primarily from the Arceno di Sotto, Arceno Curva, Colombaio and San Giovanni Merlot varietal blocks, which form the heart of the blend. These vines ripens early and the soils possess a significant amount of clay with good water retention. Sunshine and mild temperatures allow the fruit plenty of time to ripen on the vine, leading to lush Merlot and spicy Cabernet Franc components.
Colombaio vineyard was also one of the first vineyards to be planted, in 1996. The soil is mostly loamy sand with a low acidity (pH 6) and some presence of sandstone. Elevation is 380 meters (1250 feet) above sea level.
The wine is aged in French oak for 10-12 months, depending on vintage. Pierre Seillan has spent the past five decades perfecting his micro-cru philosophy to create world-class wines. HE works closely with winemaker Lawrence Cronin and his Italian team, believing his job is to respect tradition, but also enhance the future.
IL fauno is a Toscana IGT wine, a category that was made popular by producers making very high quality wines in Tuscany, known as 'Super Tuscans'.
