Pico Maccario Lavignone Barbera d'Asti Piedmont 2022 (750ML)

Pico Maccario's 2022 Lavignone is a Barbera from Piedmont's Asti zone, where the varietal finds its most elegant expression. This is young, fruit-forward red wine made for near-term drinking, built on the region's characteristic acidity and approachability.

The wine opens with aromas of cherry and raspberry, with a whisper of mint that keeps things bright and fresh. On the palate, ripe red fruits dominate, candied cherry and strawberry with good concentration, and the wine has the kind of juicy, immediate appeal that makes it equally at home at the table or in a glass on its own. The finish holds nicely, showing the structure that Barbera is known for without any heaviness.
