2021 Broc Cellars "Amore Rosso" Red, Fox Hill Vineyard, Mendocino County, California, USA

ABOUT THIS WINE:

The goal with Amore Rosso is to have fun - making wine from the many Italian varieties grown at Fox Hill. The intention was to make a delicious table wine, capturing the feel of an old school classic field blend. This wine has darker, vibrant fruit with some structure while still being bright and fresh. It also has depth and complexity which pairs so well with food.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER:

Chris Brockway came to call Berkeley home (for his cellar anyways) by way of Omaha, Nebraska, where he was born and raised, Seattle, and finally Los Angeles, with a couple short stops in between. After graduating from the University of Nebraska, he began working in restaurants around the city before decamping to the Pacific Northwest, where he ultimately became interested in wine. After a friend joked that he should learn how to actually make it, he packed his things and enrolled in winemaking courses at UC Davis. He finished his studies and quickly landed a job at JC Cellars, by all means a conventional winery. At the same time he began to frequent Terroir, San Francisco’s first natural wine bar, and began to think a lot about experimenting with the wines he liked to drink. And so, with a few small experiments, Broc Cellars was born.
