Wine from Pico

Nestled within the Azores, the Pico wine region boasts a unique volcanic terroir, where rugged cliffs meet the Atlantic Ocean. The climate is maritime, characterized by cool temperatures and regular mist, while the nutrient-rich volcanic soils imbue the vines with distinct minerality. Predominantly white varieties like Arinto and Verdelho thrive here, offering elegant wines with citrus notes and a refreshing saline finish. The vine-training technique of "currais," utilizing stone walls, reflects local heritage and protects the grapes from harsh winds, enhancing the region’s rich cultural tapestry. Pico, a UNESCO World Heritage site, harmoniously blends nature and winemaking tradition.
