Il Pazzo is 100% Merlot from a south-facing vineyard that Marco Buratti planted in the volcanic hills of the Colli Euganei National Park, near Villa di Teolo in Veneto. The grapes are fermented as whole bunches for approximately one month before being pressed into large old barrels, where the wine ages for nine months. Nothing is added at any stage: no fining, no filtration, no sulfites.
The name means "the crazy one" in Italian, and it is the darkest, deepest, and most savory wine in Marco's small lineup. The volcanic, mineral-rich soils and the south-facing exposure push concentration and structure, while the whole-bunch carbonic element keeps the wine fresh and the tannins approachable. Expect deep ruby, aromas of dark plum, violet, and black pepper, with an earthy, savory finish.
Production at Farnea is tiny, around 8,000 to 10,000 bottles across all wines per year. The cantina is a small room attached to Marco's house containing concrete and fiberglass vats, a handful of old barrels, and nothing else. What goes into the bottle is exclusively what the vineyard provides.
