On Pico Island, wine is more than a beverage—it's a heritage shaped by wind, sea, and lava. Within black stone walls that protect the vineyards from the Atlantic, one of the world's most unique wines grows. The curraletas, as these small walled plots are known, have been classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and tell the story of centuries of resilience and human ingenuity.
The volcanic terroir gives the Verdelho, Azores Arinto, and Terrantez do Pico grape varieties a unique mineral character, where the salinity and freshness of the sea intertwine with citrus and floral notes. Pico wines are intense, elegant, and distinctive—a true expression of the power of nature combined with ancestral knowledge.
Tasting a Pico wine is like traveling through an arid and beautiful landscape, where the vines defy the hardness of the rock to flourish. It's savoring history, culture, and authenticity in a glass. And it is, above all, recognizing that some of the best things in life come from the most unlikely places.
