Pisoni Lucy Pico Blanco 2023

Mattinson review of Pisoni Lucy Pico Blanco 2023.

Pisoni Lucy Pico Blanco 2023
14.1% alcohol, cork, Monterey County USA (Santa Lucia Highlands and Arroyo Seco).

This wine was my introduction to the wines of Pisoni. From the first sip it was clear that we have a special producer here. It’s grown on two sites in Monterey County (USA) and it’s a blend of Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc. It’s fruity, floral, herbal and saline at once, the latter aspect the conduit to texture. The effect is quite something. There’s a poise to this wine. Both its flavour volume and flavour profile are so harmoniously served. I put my glass down and thought, What a lovely wine. 94 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
