La Biancara Pico 2020 from La Biancara in Veneto is a bold and expressive red that delivers serious structure while remaining unmistakably drinkable.

The nose is intense and layered, showing black cherry, blackberry and plum, backed by dried herbs, pepper spice and a subtle earthy note. On the palate it is medium to full bodied, with firm yet polished tannins, fresh acidity and a savoury core that carries through to a long, mineral edged finish. La Biancara Pico 2020 has a raw, honest feel that fans of minimal intervention Italian reds will appreciate, offering depth without heaviness.

This La Biancara Pico 2020 pairs beautifully with grilled meats, slow cooked ragù, mushroom dishes or aged hard cheeses, and also rewards a short stint in the cellar.
