Pico Maccario Barbera d'Asti Docg Lavignone 2022 Magnum

Pico Maccario Barbera d'Asti DOCG Lavignone 2022 Magnum is a bold, characterful Barbera from the heart of Piemonte, offered here in an impressive magnum format that makes it ideal for sharing or cellaring. Crafted from 100% Barbera and protected by the Barbera d'Asti DOCG designation, it combines generous fruit, vivid freshness, and the polished style that has made this Piedmontese classic so beloved.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a deep ruby-red colour that hints at its concentration and ripeness. The nose is expressive and layered, with aromas of ripe red berries, cherries, and plums, lifted by subtle spice and a touch of vanilla from oak ageing. On the palate, it is full-bodied and well structured, with Barbera's naturally lively acidity giving the wine energy and definition. Soft tannins and a long, fruity finish with a delicate spicy edge make it both approachable now and well suited to further short- to medium-term ageing, particularly in magnum format.

Production
This wine comes from Piemonte, where Barbera thrives on the region's rolling hillside vineyards and cool climate, which help preserve the grape's freshness and aromatic intensity. The DOCG classification ensures careful vineyard selection and strict production standards, while the vinification and barrel maturation contribute to the wine's balance, depth, and subtle vanilla-spice nuances.

Food & Serving
Serve at around 16-18°C to bring out the wine's fruit and structure. It pairs beautifully with hearty meat dishes, rich pasta sauces, roasted game, and mature cheeses; decanting for 30-60 minutes is recommended if enjoyed young, especially from the magnum, to allow the aromas and texture to open fully.

Pico Maccario is a respected Piedmontese producer known for combining modern winemaking with a strong sense of regional identity. Based in the Monferrato area, the estate has earned recognition for its expressive Barbera wines and its commitment to quality, making it one of the notable names in the region today.
