Pico Maccario Tre Roveri Nizza 2021 (750ml)

Pico Maccario's Tre Roveri is a Barbera from Nizza, in the heart of Piedmont's Barbera d'Asti zone, from the 2021 vintage. Nizza represents the region's highest expression of the varietal, and this wine reflects that ambition, it's aged in oak and built for substance rather than immediate charm.

The wine shows dark cherry and plum with an undercurrent of spice and earth. There's a firmness to the tannins and a pleasing tension between acidity and ripe fruit that gives the wine structure without heaviness. It carries the varietal's trademark brightness while the oak aging adds complexity and a subtle vanilla warmth that threads through the finish. This is a wine that benefits from some air and will continue to settle and evolve over the next several years.
