Broc Cellars has sourced Nero d'Avola from Fox Hill Vineyard on the Talmage Benchland in Mendocino County since 2013. The vineyard sits between Hopland and Ukiah, on uplifted river bed with sandy and sandy loam soils. At harvest in 2018 the vines were approximately 20 years old and the site was farmed organically.
For the 2018 vintage, the grapes were fermented on the skins in amphora and left on skins past fermentation. The wine was basket pressed in late January and returned to amphora to age for 8 months. No oak was used. Fermentation proceeded with native yeasts only, with no additions of nutrients, enzymes, or commercial bacteria.
The result is a wine with vibrant red and black fruit, firm but accessible tannins, and a savory, pepper-edged finish. Broc winemaker Chris Brockway describes it as an homage to the classic Nero d'Avolas he drank while working behind the bar at Terroir, San Francisco's first natural wine bar.
