* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Ugo Lequio exhibits a deft hand when it comes to oak aging. The wood notes here are perfectly integrated and appear as fine shadings of spice and vanilla and as background notes to forest berry and black currant. This wine is feminine and precise with bright berry intensity and lively acidity. Drink after 2010.

This is an exciting wine with a lively cornucopia of flavors including tiny berry fruit, vanilla, allspice, powdered licorice and root beer. The wine is nicely aged and balanced with a vertical approach that underscores the wine’s natural intensity and complexity. It’s unusual and interesting in the mouth, with gritty tannins and intense spice flavors.

Ugo Lequio’s beautiful Gallina Barbaresco offers loads of cola (cherry cola and root beer) with firm oak tones that need time to unwind with more cellar aging. Toasted notes, spice and pressed red rose petal appear on the long, generous close.

This is a soft, silky, feminine Barbaresco that’s already approachable. Pretty aromas of cherry preserves and spring flowers fold in vanilla notes on the palate. Drink now–2010.

Young and tight on the nose, this blossoms in the mouth, yielding a creamy, rich mix of dried cherries, leather and chocolate. Exceptionally smooth and supple on the finish, suggesting early drinkability.

Ugo Lequio offers one of the best expressions of Nebbiolo from the Gallina cru. His beautiful Barbaresco from Neive delivers impressive extraction and aromatic intensity. The wine is rich and opulent with aromas of spice, wild berry, red rose, licorice and a touch of white truffle. The mouthfeel is smooth, elegant and the finish is long.
