ICA: SAND, BEACH AND NATURE<br />
The flavour<br />
of Pisco<br />
Gastronomy<br />
From 2 days / 1 night PM Upon Request<br />
The southern region of the Peruvian coast has exceptional<br />
soil. Since colonial times, landowners settled there have<br />
enjoyed a rich and fertile land, farming the grape and<br />
producing its by-products which have won an iconic place in<br />
the Peruvian economy.<br />
Pisco 1615<br />
From a process of distillation using the fruits comes Pisco,<br />
the national drink. The taste of this product is distinctive<br />
due to the use of specific varieties of grapes known as<br />
“pisqueras”: Quebranta, Mollar, Criolla Negra, Uvina, Italia,<br />
Moscatel, Torontel and Albilla. Pisco masters work with them,<br />
obtaining three types of drinks: “Pisco puro” or pure, derived<br />
from a single grape variety; “Mosto Verde”, collected from<br />
the distillation of fresh musts interrupting its fermentation;<br />
and the “Pisco acholado”, obtained from the mixture of<br />
grapes and musts at different stages of fermentation.<br />
Even if its incomparable flavour and aroma are enjoyed<br />
throughout the country, it is in Ica where the most prestigious<br />
vineyards and wineries are found, offering tastings and<br />
hospitality to visitors.<br />
The vineyards of Ica are an ideal place to get away from the<br />
noise and grime of the city. In the hands of a sommelier, you<br />
will learn everything about the process of making Pisco. Start<br />
with a walk amongst the vines to learn about grape varieties;<br />
then visit the distillery to see the production process. Finally,<br />
Unsplash<br />
enjoy a special tasting to finish of the day. An unforgettable<br />
way to get to know our Pisco!<br />
