Broc Cellars 2019 Pétillant Valdiguié
American Sparkling
Light red colour accompanies berry, plum and rose-petal aromas. The body is light and crisp, with assertive carbonation. Valdiguié comes from Ricetti Vineyard in Mendocino, from roughly sixty-year-old vines. Grapes are foot pressed, fermented to eighteen grams of residual sugar, chilled for two weeks, then bottled. The wine rests on its side for eleven months and is released without dosage.
Pax 2017 Buddha’s Dharma Vineyard Chenin Blanc
American White
Melon, wool, Mirabelle plum and flowers appear with exotic fruit and spice. The Chenin Blanc is fresh and long. Vines were planted in nineteen forty-four on gravelly volcanic soils and are dry farmed without chemicals. Grapes are whole-cluster pressed. Ambient fermentation and full malolactic conversion take place in neutral French oak and new Stockinger Austrian barrels, followed by ten months in the same vessels.
Broc Cellars 2019 Amore Rosso Sangiovese
American Red
Fresh cherry and cranberry lead, with cinnamon, clove and a gentle earthy note adding lift. The palate is bright and easy-moving, carrying crunchy red fruit through lively acidity and light, supple tannins. Serve slightly cool with tomato-based pasta, grilled peppers, pizza, roast poultry or a simple plate of charcuterie.
