The name Il Faggio derives from the beech trees

His studies in Chemistry led him to become an enologist early

His extensive vine-holdings allow him an enviably broad palette of fruit from which to blend and his wine typically has a harmonious integration of fruit and tannin which is why it has been described as the “most Burgundian” wine of the appellation
