Montesierpe Pisco Acholado
This medium-bodied pisco combines the strong characteristic of the Quebranta grape (60%) with the gentleness of the Italia grape (60%). Its flavor offers the delectable taste of fresh herbs paired with dried fruits such as raisins and toasted almonds giving it a more sober texture. After tasting it, the light flavor of bitter chocolate is noticed.

History and Culture
Pisco is linked to the Peruvian identity and language during pre-Columbian times. This liquor is currently considered Cultural Heritage of the Nation.
Its name comes from the place where grapes were originally grown, in “Pisco”. The “Piskos” made a large number of special ceramic containers, conical in shape and large in size, used mainly for chicha and a variety of alcoholic beverages. Years later, during the conquest and the first vine harvests, the extraction of the musts was deposited in these clay vessels. These vessels were called “Piscos” and by popular extension the liquor they contained was named: Pisco”
