Description
Tansy Nero d’Avola is a vibrant tribute to Sicilian tradition, expressed through a distinctly California lens. Our inaugural release reveals layers of ripe black cherry, red plum, and pomegranate, lifted by notes of fennel frond, tobacco leaf, and a touch of bitter blood orange zest. Natural acidity and soft, rounded tannins make this wine effortlessly food-friendly and bright.
The grapes were sourced from Fox Hill Vineyard, nestled on the Talmage Bench in Mendocino County—an ancient riverbed of redvine clay, pebbly sandstone, and quartz. Now CCOF-certified organic, the vineyard has transitioned over years to sustainable practices, including cover crops and rotational sheep grazing. With over 25 Italian varietals thriving on site, Fox Hill is a rare California gem—and the perfect home for Nero d’Avola.
