About this Wine

The 2020 Ugo Lequio Barbaresco DOCG is a refined and traditional expression of Nebbiolo from the heart of Piemonte, showcasing the elegance, structure, and aromatic complexity that define great Barbaresco. Produced by Ugo Lequio, this wine reflects a family-driven approach focused on vineyard character, balance, and classical winemaking.

Sourced from hillside vineyards around Barbaresco, the fruit benefits from limestone-rich soils and a continental climate that supports slow ripening and the development of Nebbiolo’s hallmark perfume and tannin structure. The 2020 vintage delivered excellent balance and freshness, producing wines with clarity, finesse, and ageing potential.

In the winery, grapes were traditionally fermented with careful extraction to preserve varietal purity and structure. Maturation took place in large oak casks and barrels, allowing the wine to gain complexity and integration while maintaining focus on fruit and terroir expression rather than overt oak influence.

The wine opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, dried rose petals, and orange peel, layered with notes of anise, earth, spice, and subtle tarry complexity. The palate is medium-bodied yet firmly structured, with vibrant acidity, fine-grained tannins, and a long, savoury finish that reflects classic Barbaresco character.

Approachable with decanting in its youth, the 2020 Ugo Lequio Barbaresco DOCG will continue to evolve beautifully over 10–20+ years, developing additional tertiary notes of truffle, dried herbs, and forest floor.

A poised and authentic Barbaresco for collectors and lovers of elegant, site-driven Nebbiolo.

Wines of Piedmont

In the North-Western corner of Italy, with a backdrop of the visually stunning Alps, Piedmont is a great place to visit for wine tourism. It is also home to some of the most sought-after wines in the country.

Nebbiolo is the region’s most prestigious grape variety, a red variety not seen much in Australia. Wines made from this grape are powerful with remarkably high levels of tannins but a balancing acidity. The Piedmont region offers the grapes with a reliable autumn fog that provides a cooling effect which is particularly beneficial to the growth of Nebbiolo. This pre-harvest fog (“nebbia” in Italian) is actually where the grape’s name comes from. The fog is vital in that it prolongs the time spent on the vine and allows the grapes to achieve full ripeness.

The most famous examples of Nebbiolo come from the appellations (subregions) of Barolo and Barbaresco, known for their ability to age well, firm tannins and distinct smell of tar and roses. Barolo is a big tannic expression of Nebbiolo, while Barbaresco only about 15km away makes a more elegant style. Barolo wines are generally the more expensive of the two and are known to cellar for decades.

By volume however, Barbera is the most planted red grape in Piedmont. This grape makes a juicy, low tannin but high acidity easy-going red. Perhaps somewhat like a lighter style Shiraz.

While there are quite a few white varieties planted in the region, the most notable is Moscato d’Asti, made in a sparkling style in the Asti subregion.
