Broc Cellars Amore Blendo

The Amore Blendo is a quintessential Italian table wine. This refreshing blend of Sangiovese Piccolo, Dolcetto and Ribolla Gialla creates a light-bodied wine that pairs amicably with most foods or enjoyed on its own. This vintage is particularly special because all three grape varieties are harvested from Fox Hill Vineyards in Mendocino, which winemaker Chris Brockway has farmed since 2020. This year’s blend is full Italian too, replacing the Sauvignon Blanc from our prior vintage with a pleasantly grippy, forest fruit-driven Sangiovese Piccolo.

True to an Italian field blend, the Sangiovese, Dolcetto and Ribolla Gialla were all harvested on the same day in mid-September. All three varieties were pressed together into concrete tanks for co-fermentation. Once natural fermentation finished, the wine was transferred into neutral oak barrique to age for five months before bottling.
