Starting in the early 1980s, Ugo Lequio released his first bottles of wine following rigorous fruit selection from the six hectare Cascina Nuova vineyard. This historic property is located on the sun-drenched Gallina Hill that was once part of the Neive Conti Riccardi Candiani patrimony and now belongs to the Marcarino family. Years later, thanks to experience and experimentation in both the vineyard and the winery, Ugo has emerged as one of the protagonists of the revolutionary shift that prizes quality wine over quantity.

 

If you love Barbaresco, you should seek out Lequio: IMO [in my opinion] he is a Nebbiolo Master in the style of Bruno Giacosa.”

Ugo Lequio Barbera d’Alba Superiore Vigna Gallina 2017 View Tasting Notes

“2017 was good year for Barbera, a grape variety that doesn’t mind a bit of warmth.  Rich and silty style, dark cherry and chocolate, liquorice and dried flowers. Fleshy, some almond and orange peel, ripe and long to close. Offers some earthy ‘mineral’ things too, and delivers a very satisfying, if not robust, expression of Barbera.” 93 Points – Gary…

Ugo Lequio Langhe Nebbiolo 2019 View Tasting Notes

“Red fruits, almond and flowering basil. Medium-bodied, juicy red fruits with a dash of blood orange, fine chalk dust tannin, freshness with a little tweak of dried herb and earthy flavour, and a dry stony finish of good length. Classic feel, and very good wine. A couple more years in bottle would be good, but nice now too.” 92 points…
