A single varietal Pisco from the Tacama vineyard, known as Peru’s first vineyard.
This Pisco’s name translates as “Devil of the Andes”. This name was originally given to Francisco de Carvajal, a Spanish soldier known for his cruelty, intelligence and love of wine. It was said when he could not find Castilla wine, he would drink what was local to Peru – a forerunner to Pisco.
Albilla refers to the type of grape used to make this Pisco – an ancient variety that has been grown at the Tacama vineyards for 120 years. These grapes are pressed and fermented before distillation.
The result is a soft, flavoursome Pisco that offers notes of tropical fruits, flowers, white grapes, mandarin rind, lime juice, subtle vanilla and gentle spice.
An excellent example of Peru’s national spirit, and the perfect option for a Pisco Sour.
