Established by brothers Pico and Vitaliano Maccario in 1997, Pico Maccario deftly balances innovation and tradition. With 112 hectares under vine, the brothers have not only pursued their passion for Barbera, but have also dedicated themselves to the production of classic Barolos. Their reverence for terroir and willingness to embrace modern practices in the vineyard and winery have resulted in beautifully-crafted, delicious, authentic wines. Today's offer is an absolute steal!
The 2018 Pico Maccario “Vigna Riondo” Barolo Riserva has aromas of brambly red fruits with hints of rose petals, tar, and forest mushrooms. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with flavors of ripe red cherries and plums entwined with accents of cocoa and balsamic notes. Tannins are firm yet pliant; vibrant acidity brings the wine to a long finish.
Check out the press!
94 points, James Suckling:
"Ripe cherries and plum skin with hints of cocoa, dark spices, mushrooms, and sandalwood on the nose. Firm and structured with a medium to full body. Shows tension and good volume, with succulent fruit in the middle."
