Vinas de Oro Pisco Italia
Pisco Puro | 750mL | 41% ABV (82 proof) — Vinas de Oro Pisco Italia is the most decorated bottling in the Viñas de Oro line: a single-varietal pisco puro from 100% Italia grapes — an aromatic variety given a 12-hour maceration before distillation at the Brescia family estate in El Carmen (Chincha), Ica, Peru. It has collected golds from the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, ExpoPisco, and the Beverage Testing Institute. Available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.
Italia is one of Peru's four aromatic pisco grapes, and here it shows why: a beautiful fruit bouquet of orange and lemon blossoms, a sweet and perfectly balanced entry of floral citrus notes, and a long, intense finish. Natural yeast, a single copper-alembic distillation, and a 10–12 month rest in stainless steel keep the grape's voice front and center. Explore the estate's range with the Moscatel or Albilla.
