Pico Maccario Wines of Piedmont, Italy and Farmers Market
Hosted by Lita Bodemer, Italian Wine Specialist
Lita will be sampling four selections from this awesome Barbera Producer! All are reasonably priced from $10 to $20! "Pico Maccario Winery was founded in 1997 in Mombaruzzo, Piedmont with 70 hectares of vineyards in one piece of property in the heart of the Barbera d'Asti DOCG appellation. From the beginning, brothers Pico and Vitaliano Maccario have chosen modern methods to manage their vineyards and produce wine, due in equal parts to their personal taste and young age of their winery. The rose has always been a symbol of the winery. 4500 rose plants of the same cloned variety have the duel function of marking the start of each vineyard row, and - a traditional use - of signaling vine-threatening diseases before they get the chance to do damage. The presence of these thousands of rosebushes creates a beautiful walking experience between the rows of Pico Maccario." - A Bit of Education!
Also during this sampling, Jon Knox of Dogwood Farms - Our Local Organic Farmer will be having a Spring Farmers Market! Enjoy Dogwood Farms samples while sipping wine - organic Ravioli with Dogwood Farms Pasta Sauce and more! Be sure to stop by and plan to spend some quality time with us! Jon will be selling products to stock up your pantry. You can also inquire about his joining his CSA program. Becoming a CSA Member is one of the best ways to directly support and maintain local farms while putting better food on your table!
