Origin · Açores · Pico

Pico is the largest and most iconic of the Azores' wine sub-regions, its UNESCO-listed vineyards planted in black basaltic "currais" that shield vines from Atlantic winds. This volcanic terroir produces intensely mineral, saline whites from Arinto dos Açores, Verdelho, and rare Terrantez do Pico.
