Amador Foothill

Sierra Foothills wines spanning Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Aglianico.

Amador Foothill produces wines in California's Sierra Foothills, a region defined by elevation, diurnal temperature swings, and mineral-rich soils that shape distinctive varietal expression. The winery's Sauvignon Blanc captures the region's crisp acidity and aromatic intensity, while its Sémillon brings textural depth and complexity. A notable Aglianico—the southern Italian variety—demonstrates the winery's willingness to explore beyond conventional Sierra Foothills plantings, leveraging the region's warm days and cool nights to coax structure and ripeness from this traditionally tannic grape.
