Ugo Lequio
Langhe Nebbiolo
Piedmont, Italy
Lovely nose of licorice, smoke, wood shavings, roses, dried cherries, dried rose petals and just so high toned. Great. Palate is juicy and ripe but also compact, focused and a bit backwards initially but 20 mins of air will focus this. Tannins are a bit rustic but also full of fruit and character. Nice. 19 is better though.

Apr 10th, 2023Awesome color. 19 is something special in the Langhe. Look at that color. Nose is stunning. Spices, cherry, dizzying florals. Smells like a Barbaresco. Palate is precise and fresh with wonderful sweet cherry fruit. Luscious yet also acid driven and very mineral. Big tannins but ripe and sweet. A lot of material here. Really just bats way above the level it should be at.

What color! Many a Burg would like to wear that. Cherry transparent. Big smokey, woodsy, spicy, tactile nose, you’re in Italy for sure. Cherries & plums.Some spice box and cinnamon. Bit ‘o coffee.
Really nice lifted acidity, grippy, dry but mini plush right down the center of your tongue. Red fruits, leather, ( young), clove, cardamom, makes you crave food but it could be alone on a beautiful summer evening.As it airs out, fruit comes to the fore and the palate broadens, tannins recede.More from Ugo Lequio please. Stunner.
Thanks @ FassSelections

Quite a nice langhe Nebbiolo. Very dark fruit and a good bit of earth and some herb. Tannins are making themselves known and are a bit more bitter than I remember from last year. Still a great value.

All the Barbaresco flavor without the weight. Exemplar of elegance. Grapes from Nieve. Bargain.

Mar 3rd, 2022Very nice value langhe nebbiolo. Quite classic, starting with the color. Doesn’t have the depth or tannic seamlessness of some pricier wines, but still very well balanced with good fruit and earth and lifting acid. Nice.
