Ugo Lequio Barbaresco Gallina 2016

Ugo Lequio Barbaresco Gallina 2016 is a refined single-cru Nebbiolo that showcases one of Barbaresco’s most admired sites. Sourced from the historic Gallina cru in Neive, this wine combines depth, structure, and the elegance that has made Barbaresco a benchmark for fine Italian reds.

Tasting Notes
Expect a garnet-hued wine with a bright, translucent core typical of Nebbiolo. The nose is likely to unfold with aromas of red cherry, rose petal, dried herbs, spice, and a subtle earthy note, while the palate should be structured yet graceful, with firm tannins, fresh acidity, and a long, persistent finish. The south-facing vineyard exposures help build concentration and aging potential, so this is a wine that can be enjoyed now with proper aeration but will continue to develop beautifully over time, gaining further complexity and silkiness in bottle.

Production
This Barbaresco comes from the historic Gallina cru in Neive, an area known for producing wines of remarkable finesse and longevity. The vineyards date back to 1953, 1963, and 1971, and the south-facing slopes provide excellent ripening conditions for Nebbiolo, supporting the grape’s natural structure and aromatic precision. The result is a wine shaped by classic Piedmont terroir, with an emphasis on balance, persistence, and elegance.

Food & Serving
A natural match for rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, veal shank, truffle pasta, roasted game, and mature hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1–2 hours if opening young to help soften the tannins and reveal the wine’s aromatic complexity.

Producer
Ugo Lequio is an established Barbaresco producer closely associated with expressive, terroir-driven wines from prized vineyard sites in Piedmont. The winery has built its reputation on careful work in the vineyard and a classical approach in the cellar, helping to highlight the finesse and longevity that define the region’s best Nebbiolo wines.
