The 2023 Nebbiolo D'Alta is one of the latest creations from Salinas-based winemaker Ted Glennon, showcasing fruit from the Regan Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains. This Nebbiolo is de-stemmed and crafted with care, employing hand punchdowns, pumpovers, and native fermentation in neutral barrels, resulting in a wine that is as distinctive as it is captivating. Bright and fresh, it greets the nose with aromas of ripe cherry, cherry blossom, and rose petals. On the palate, vibrant cherry fruit is joined by subtle leather nuances, delivering a classic Nebbiolo character with a modern twist. The tannins, though intense and grippy, are unexpectedly balanced by the wine's brightness and freshness, creating harmony. With only 96 cases produced, this small-lot gem demands attention. Elegant and energetic, it’s a must-try for those seeking a refined yet approachable take on Nebbiolo from an exciting California terroir.
