"1997 wurde das Weingut von den Brüdern Pico und Vitaliano Maccario gegründet und widmet sich vor allem der Barbera - wie beim punktgenauen, in Stahl ausgebauten Lavignone, der dem Nizza DOCG Tre Roveri und dem Barbera d'Asti DOCG Superiore Epico zur Seite steht: Noten von roten Beeren und Veilchen; am Gaumen kompakt, lebendige Säure, dann schöne Evolution hin zu Aromen dunkler Beeren und floralen Noten."

"Das ist mal eine weiche Fruchtbombe. Die Aromen von süßer Kirsche, reifer Zwetschge, und Himbeeren springen aus dem Glas. Am Gaumen dann klar , ohne Ecken und Kanten, mit großem Trinkfluss. Sehr betörend und trotz seiner Zugänglichkeit absolut seriös."

"Deep ruby, dark purple tints. Appealing nose intermixing strawberry, redcurrant, sour cherry and fern. Luscious, velvety, rich and ample palate that is closely-integrated and spicy. Refined herbal mid-palate. Not very open yet but very promising. Enjoyable."

"In the glass the wine has a bright ruby color while the bouquet is a pleasing mix of notes of wild berries, raspberry and cherry together with floral sensations of rose, citrus and anise. The mouthfeel is fresh and dynamic and has a good acidic-tannic balance while the finish is saline and floral with a return of rose, berries and red fruits."

86 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Pico Maccario Lavignone" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2010 with 86 of 100 points.
"The 2007 vintage was a hot one and La Vignone delivers all the jammy, mature fruit tones you'd expect in an immediate and upfront manner. Aromas of strawberry and blackberry preserves are backed by sour, almost sharp acidity."
