The wine region of Ica
Peruvian region ~300 km south of Lima on the Pacific coast, heart of Pisco. Dry desert climate, draining sandy soils, Andean irrigation. Signature Pisco as national eau-de-vie (no wood ageing) with fresh grape, white flowers, citrus, tropical fruits and muscat notes. Aromatic pisquera varieties (Italia, Moscatel, Albilla, Torontel) and non-aromatic (Quebranta, Negra Criolla, Mollar).
The word of the wine: Cryo-extraction
This technique was very popular at the end of the 80's in Sauternes, a little less so now. The grapes are frozen before pressing, and the water transformed into ice remains in the marc, only the sugar flows out. As with the concentrators, the "cryo" can also increase bad taste and greenness.
