Pico Wines - Coop. Vitivinícola da Ilha do Pico

Pico Island, is the youngest island in the mid Atlantic Azores archipelago.

Geologically it’s a rocky island, with very little topsoil. Vines eek out a precarious existence on old lava flows at the edge of the ocean.

In the 18th and 19th centuries the wines of Pico were fortified wines shipped around the world, United States of America and Russia their frequent destinations.

In 1949 a group of local vignerons founded the Cooperativa Vitivinícola da Ilha do Pico (Pico Wines). The aim was and still is to preserve and develop this special heritage for future generations. Today it numbers more than 250 associates.

Pico wines continue to produce high quality fortified wines, examples of which are the “Licoroso 10 Anos” and “Licoroso 20 Anos”.
