Capurro Pisco Quebranta

Capurro Pisco Quebranta is a 43.5% ABV, 750mL single-estate Peruvian pisco — a "puro" distilled entirely from Quebranta grapes on the Capurro family estate in Nasca, Ica, Peru. Five generations and 100+ years of pisco-making stand behind it: hand-harvested grapes once a year, single press with the pomace discarded, natural fermentation on indigenous yeast, and a single copper-pot distillation to proof — no water added at any point, undiluted, unfiltered, no additives. The Quebranta is rested a minimum of one year before release (the brand judges readiness by taste alone). Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Five Generations in Nasca

Peru's pisco denomination of origin is strict — single distillation to proof, no water, no oak, minimum resting — and Capurro, working its own estate in the coastal desert of Nasca at 428m elevation, goes further: one press only, pomace discarded, resting judged by taste rather than the calendar. Quebranta is the non-aromatic workhorse grape, giving an earthy, savory pisco rather than a floral one. Explore more pisco and the Capurro collection.

How to Enjoy

The classic vehicle is the Pisco Sour — Quebranta's savory depth makes a superb one. It also sips neat at cellar temperature, and mixes beautifully in a Chilcano with ginger ale and lime.
