Variety: Sangiovese

When asked to express his viewpoint on organic winemaking, Evan responds: “A winegrower working incessantly in his/her vines, with a mind focused both on the sky above and the soil below, not just the fruit zone, will naturally come to deeply know their vines and their specific place and inevitably seek to eradicate those things that destroy in favor of choosing to support and encourage life. It must start with these connections in the vineyard. Wine made by these people, the ones earnestly and honestly seeking to know their farms, in the end will be organic wine to me.”

Fox Hill Vineyard is located in Ukiah, just up the way from the Russian River Valley. Lowell Stone had a long time love for Italian wine, so much so that he began planting classic Italian varieties in the exquisite Fox Hill vineyard. With this Sangiovese, he did his absolute best to capture the essence of the Tuscan hillsides.
