The Nero d'Avola grape, traditionally hailing from Sicily, is largely a rarity in California, but this wine proves that it can, and does, thrive in the right growing conditions. Martha sources her grapes from Benson Ranch and Fox Hill, home to a host of Italian varieties and perhaps the oldest Nero d'Avola in the state. This wine is a reason why Martha Stoumen is one of the leading names in the natural wine movement
After studying agricultural systems and Italian in college, Martha ventured across the pond to Italy where she spent much of her time in vineyards. From there, it was only a matter of time until her agrarian itch was scratched as much by viticulture as olive orchards and bee farms. She apprenticed across the world, including stops with the likes of Chris Brockway and Giusto Occhipinti. These mentors helped shape her approach but in the end, Martha has carved out her own path crafting natural wines of immense pleasure and provenance.
