A GUIDE TO THE GRAPES OF BROC
Fox Hill is Broc’s home vineyard in Mendocino County. Here we farm over 25 grape varieties, mostly Italian grapes you won’t often see in California. The Broc Field Guide is our way of sharing them with you. One grape, one story, one taste at a time.
FIELD NOTES
Erbaluce
One of Piedmont's oldest white grapes and, outside of Fox Hill, it's rare to find it grown in California.
Amore Bianco
Blending Trebbiano and Fruilano, it's our California take on a classic Italian skin-contact white wine.
Brachetto
After spending centuries defined by one style, Brachetto takes a different shape here: dry, sparkling, and ready for summer.
ARNEIS
A Piemonte grape nearly lost to history, now celebrated for its delicate aroma and crisp taste.
NERO D'AVOLA
Once overlooked, this important Sicilian varietal features dark fruit, subtle spice, and a structure made for aging.
