It displays a ruby colour tending towards garnet, with a refined bouquet characterised by distinct \u003cstrong\u003enotes of wild berries\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it reveals a velvety texture and good complexity, balanced by a pleasantly bitter note on the finish. The sip concludes with a \u003cstrong\u003epersistent finish\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is the ideal pairing for truffle fondue, classic Piedmontese agnolotti, white meats and medium-aged cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the \u003cstrong\u003eCastellizzano area\u003c\/strong\u003e in Treiso, in the heart of the Langhe. The vineyards are situated at around four hundred metres above sea level, with an optimal \u003cstrong\u003enorth-west exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e that ensures slow and balanced ripening. The \u003cstrong\u003eUgo Lequio\u003c\/strong\u003e winery manages production by maintaining low yields per hectare, ensuring an excellent quality raw material, capable of faithfully expressing the unique nuances of the Piedmontese hillside terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFermentation takes place in steel tanks at a \u003cstrong\u003econtrolled temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e for about a week. Afterwards, the wine matures for five or six months in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential step to soften the tannic structure while preserving the aromatic integrity of the fruit. This process gives the \u003cstrong\u003eNebbiolo\u003c\/strong\u003e excellent ageing potential. To fully appreciate its complexity, it is recommended to \u003cstrong\u003edecant for one hour\u003c\/strong\u003e and serve at a temperature between sixteen and eighteen degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePiedmontese excellence is expressed in the \u003cstrong\u003eLanghe Nebbiolo 2023\u003c\/strong\u003e by Ugo Lequio, a winery founded in 1981.
