From this winery

  • Oenologist: Ugo Lequio, Gianfranco Cordero
  • Bottles produced: 30.000
  • Hectares: 8
Great always comes from a far-sighted project, but without the unparalleled ambition to give the best, nothing truly great can develop. Ugo's philosophy can be traced back to this, a small company that participates in wine culture by bringing its contribution of professionalism and progress.

At the beginning of the 1980s, he signed his first bottles, personally selecting the grapes from six hectares of vineyard at "Cascina Nuova", a farm located in the heart of the historic Gallina hill, once part of the great wine-growing estate of the Lords of Neive Conti Riccardi Candiani, now owned by Marcarino.

The precious experience acquired over time, research and experimentation in the vineyard and in the cellar, have contributed to making this producer a protagonist of the quality revolution that, in recent years, has led to the emergence of an elitist wine culture.

The conviction that a great wine is born over time and that waiting, managed without anxiety, gives it class, importance and longevity, leads Ugo to place his bottles on the market only after a long and proper rest. Read more
