PHILOSOPHY
UGO LEQUIO Barbaresco Gallina 2020. “Great things always arise from a far-sighted project, but without the unparalleled ambition to give it their all, nothing truly great can develop.”
This is the philosophy of Ugo Lequio, a small company that participates in the culture of wine, contributing its professionalism and progress.
In the early 1980s, he signed his first bottles, personally selecting the grapes from six hectares of vineyards at “Cascina Nuova,” a farm located in the heart of the historic Gallina hill, once part of the great winemaking heritage of the Counts Riccardi Candiani of Neive, now owned by Marcarino.
The valuable experience acquired over time, research, and experimentation in the vineyard and cellar, have helped make this producer a leader in the quality revolution that, in recent years, has given rise to an elite wine culture.
The belief that a great wine is born over time and that waiting, managed without anxiety, gives it class, importance, and longevity, leads Ugo to release his bottles on the market only after a long and appropriate rest.
