San Lorenzo Alto Bellaluce 2022

San Lorenzo Alto Bellaluce 2022$42. 99 6+ bottles (code: 6saves2) Our Take: Light ruby core, transparent like Nebbiolo should be. Elegant and unexpectedly alpine in character, this Nebbiolo opens with aromas of wild mountain cherry, rose petal, and crushed herbs, layered with hints of orange peel and stone. The palate is lifted and precise, with vibrant acidity, fine youthful tannins, and a mineral backbone that carries through a long, graceful finish. Tasted 3 times over 2 days.

Translating to 'The Green Fault' or 'The Green Valley

and gracefully structured
