Red Wine "Bellaluce" 2022

Bellaluce is a red wine produced by San Lorenzo Alto, Clay Mclachlan's company, from a Nebbiolo vineyard cultivated in the municipality of Bonvicino.

From the beginning, the collaboration with Luca Roagna, a benchmark for traditional Barolo, who oversees all production phases, has been fundamental. After the harvest, generally late and concentrated towards the end of October, the grapes are processed in the Roagna winery in Castiglione Falletto. Here, fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts in wood and concrete vats, with prolonged macerations. The wine then matures in large barrels for two years, followed by further aging in the bottle before being released onto the market.

The Winery: San Lorenzo Alto

In the heart of Alta Langa, in Bonvicino, the San Lorenzo Alto project was born, the fruit of a passion cultivated over time and realized after years of connection with the Piedmontese territory. The vineyard, dedicated to Nebbiolo, extends over a steep slope adjacent to the property and benefits from a significant altitude, which provides cool climatic conditions and a unique expression of the grape variety. The winery's name recalls the historic location of the property, San Lorenzo, while "Alto" emphasizes the vineyard's altitude, a key element for the style of the wines.
