Founded in 1997 by brothers Pico and Vitaliano, Pico Maccario is a family-owned winery boasting 112 hectares of vineyards between Monferrato and Langhe, primarily dedicated to the queen grape of Piemonte, Barbera. In 2016, the winery accomplished a remarkable expansion in the Langhe area, adding some CRU properties in the Barolo and Barbaresco appellations, especially in the villages of Neive, Barolo, and Serralunga.
Pico Maccario has always dedicated a large part of its resources to technological innovation and research in the vineyard. Their winemaking style aims to respect the true varietal character of Barbera, delivering wines with clean aromas, balanced and pleasant acidity, and versatility. These wines are enjoyable, rich, and satisfying.
Lavignone wine, the pride of Pico Maccario, is produced from a 54-hectare vineyard in one body, with vines averaging 22 years old, in the heart of the Barbera d’Asti DOCG. Its name comes from the local dialect, meaning ‘the big vineyard,’ and truly reflects the essence of its origin: the biggest Barbera d’Asti cru ever to exist.
Pico Maccario stands out as a pioneer in Barbera production, playing a pivotal role in promoting Barbera d’Asti and Nizza DOCG. Their forward-thinking attitude is shaping the future of Barbera in Italy and worldwide.
