2022 San Lorenzo Alto 'Bellaluce', Piedmont, Italy
$34.00
in 2015, a Canadian/American transplant in Piedmont, Clay McLachlan, decided to plant just over one hectare of Nebbiolo at an altitude of 610 to 650 meters at his house in Bonvicino in the Alta Langa - where typically hazelnuts or grapes for sparkling wine are planted! McLachlan, a successful photographer specializing in wine and food, had fallen in love with Piedmont and moved to the area ten years earlier. He bought and renovated an ancient stone farmhouse in the hills above Dogliani in 2005 which he currently opens up to guests as a curated rental property. After two decades of dreaming about making his own wine, McLachlan, along with Luca Roagna and Alfredo Roagna’s guidance, planted a vineyard of Nebbiolo on a steep hillside above the house. The first harvest was 2018, a tiny production of 50 cases. Since then, production has grown to the point where he now has commercial quantities of wine to sell in small amounts both in the US and Piedmont.
