Pico Maccario Lavignone Barbera d’Asti 2021

If you’re familiar with Piedmont, you know that the Barbera d’Asti DOCG lies in the heart of Italy’s Piedmont region. If you’re familiar with Barbera d’Asti, you’re probably a big fan of Pico Maccario.

PM is a Barbera specialist located in the town of Mombaruzzo in the heart of Piedmont’s Barbera d’Asti DOCG. Brothers Pico and Vitaliano created the Pico Maccario brand in 1997 following four generations of selling the family grapes to other producers.

Pico Maccario, the eldest brother, devotes himself to the production of the wine while Vitaliano handles the commercial aspects of the business. The family planted 8000 rose bushes throughout their vineyards which are both the symbol of the winery as well as a traditional indicator of vine-threatening diseases.

This is their first Wine Specator Top 50 wines of the year appearance. Something tells me, it won’t be their last!
