Riserva

Hailing from 70-year-old vines at the summit of the celebrated Gallina MGA, Ugo Lequio’s Riserva is a concentrated yet sophisticated package. The estate has fine-tuned maturation by decreasing the time in oak and ageing it exclusively in 25-hectolitre casks rather than small barrels, allowing the substantial fruit to shine. Top-notes of cedar and vanillin meld with leather, mace and incense. Dense without being heavy thanks to a guiding beam of brightness, a lush matrix of dark cherry and strawberry is securely corseted by smooth, silky-textured tannins. Stony minerals lurk deep within, promising more to come as this ages.
