Pico

The cultivation of vines on the island of Pico began at the end of the 15th century, when the island was first settled. The land that encompasses Pico Island's vineyard landscape, a mixture of lava rock and ancestral cultural practices, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2004. The places called Lajido da Criação Velha and Lajido de Santa Luzia are the best examples of this art of cutting the land into plots, recognized by this distinction. These vineyards planted in lava soil are framed by dry stone walls, forming small enclosures called "currais" that protect them from the sea wind, while letting in the sun necessary for their maturation.

In the cellars of Pico, the volcanic stone walls intertwine with the sea and the vegetation. Continuing over time to produce wines of exceptional quality, recently the Pico Island Wine Cooperative has launched new wines, including "Lajido", the legitimate heir of the old "verdelho" grape variety, and remarkable white table wines.
