From the Castellizzano vineyard in Treiso, it combines Nebbiolo’s characteristic structure and aromatic complexity with a velvety texture, refined fruit and subtle oak influence. Founded in 1981, Ugo Lequio is dedicated to expressing the authentic character of the Langhe hills.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine displays a bright ruby-red colour with developing garnet hues. Its refined bouquet is marked by expressive wild berries, supported by delicate earthy and spicy nuances from maturation in French oak. On the palate, it is supple and velvety, with good complexity, balanced acidity and the firm yet polished tannins typical of Nebbiolo. A pleasantly bitter note adds definition to the finish, which is persistent and elegant.\n\nWhile enjoyable in its youth after decanting, this Langhe Nebbiolo has the structure to develop further in bottle. Properly stored, it should evolve gracefully over the coming years, with the potential to mature for more than a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from the Castellizzano area of Treiso, in the heart of the Langhe, where the vineyards sit at approximately 400 metres above sea level and face north-west. This exposure encourages slow, balanced ripening, while deliberately low yields help concentrate the fruit and preserve the nuances of the Piedmontese hillside terroir. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature for around one week, followed by five to six months of maturation in used French oak barrels. The oak helps soften Nebbiolo’s tannins while maintaining the purity of its fruit and aromatic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe at 16–18°C after decanting for approximately one hour to allow the wine’s aromas and texture to fully open. Its combination of freshness, supple tannins and persistent flavour makes it a natural partner for Piedmontese truffle fondue, agnolotti, roasted or braised white meats and medium-aged cheeses. It also pairs beautifully with earthy mushroom dishes and other cuisine featuring the region’s rich, savoury flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUgo Lequio was founded in 1981 and is based in the Langhe, one of Italy’s most renowned wine regions.
