Brutocao Sauvignon Blanc
The History
Brutocao Family Vineyard Heritage is a tale of two families who combined their passion and expertise to establish one of Mendocino County’s most notable wineries. In 1910, the Brutocao family brought with them a love for wine when they emigrated from Treviso, Italy (a small town near Venice). Len Brutocao met Martha Bliss while attending the University of California, Berkeley. Martha’s father, Irv, had been farming in Mendocino
since 1943. A er Len and Martha married, the families joined forces and continued to sell their grapes to well-known Sonoma and Napa wineries for many years before star ng to make their own wine in 1980. They selected the Lion of St. Mark as their symbol of family tradition and quality. The heart of that quality is in their land: over 400 acres of vineyards in
Hopland and 12.5 acres of Pinot Noir in Anderson Valley.
