Ugo Lequio – Barbaresco Gallina – 2019

Barbaresco Gallina comes from the vineyard of the same name located in the commune of Neive, which has always been considered one of the best plots for the finesse of the wines due to its southern exposure and soils rich in white marl. With vines between 70 and 50 years old, and low yields of 45 quintals per hectare, the wine after having undergone an alcoholic fermentation in steel tanks, was aged for 20 months in large oak casks and almost one year in bottle. The wine is released on the market only when it is ready. Very elegant Barbaresco, but with structure and depth, scents of violet, licorice and coffee. About 6000 bottles.

Description

Ugo Lequio, a humble wine producer, is someone who has done the hard work, he got his hands dirty as I like to define him, and still today after 40 years of experience as a farmer and wine producer he keeps his feet on the ground and tries every year to make great wines with the only purpose of respecting the natural times of wines. The winery owns 6 hectares of vineyards mainly located in the commune of Neive where the winery is located, Treiso and Guarene.
Undoubtedly the main grape variety used in the winery is Nebbiolo where they produce two excellent Barbareschi wines with almost 70 years old vines in the first category Gallina vineyard, famous for its south position and for giving wines of great structure but among the most elegant ones. Obviously in the winery is also given space to wines defined as simpler such as Barbera and Arneis white berried grapes, vinified with traditional techniques and put on the market only when the wines are good and ready. Genuine wines, made in very few quantities but with an exquisiteness and refinement that nowadays is really hard to find.
