Lavignone

2013 Barbera D'asti Barbera

Pico Maccario Lavignone is a delightful expression of Barbera from the renowned Barbera D'Asti region. This 2013 vintage showcases a vibrant red color, hinting at the rich character within. On the palate, it boasts a medium body that is both approachable and satisfying, making it a versatile choice for various occasions. The acidity is bright and lively, providing freshness and structure that complement its fruit-forward profile. With prominent flavors of black cherry and plum, the wine exudes a wonderful fruit intensity that captures the essence of its varietal. Tannins are soft and well-integrated, adding just the right amount of backbone to the wine without overwhelming its supple mouthfeel. As a dry red, this wine is a perfect companion for hearty dishes, and it embodies the charm and vibrancy of its prestigious region.

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
