Ugo Lequio is one of Barbaresco's great under-the-radar names, and Gallina is one of Neive's most storied crus. Lequio works it the old-fashioned way, from south-facing vines planted between the 1950s and 1970s, and he's a firm believer in long cellaring before release because Gallina's tannins need time to come around. The 2016 vintage is widely considered one of the modern greats in the Langhe, building structured, age-worthy wines. At nearly a decade out, this is settling into its stride but still has years of life ahead. Decant if you're opening one now, or tuck a few away.

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Brasato al Barolo, braised short ribs, mushroom risotto, aged Parmigiano, or roast guinea hen.

Tasting Profile

A traditional, structured Nebbiolo now reaching maturity. Expect savory, earthy depth with the firm tannins of Gallina starting to soften. Still youthful by Barbaresco standards.
