1615 Pisco takes its name from the year 1615.That was the first time historical records appeared indicating the existence of grapes in Peru and their adaptation to the climate and soil of Pisco.
Bodega San Nicholás, producer of 1615, takes pride in knowing that their vineyards continue the early tradition of pisco production. 1615’s vineyards are located 250km south of Lima in the province of Pisco.They have a particularly privileged climate here, giving excellent characteristics and qualities of flavour and fragrance to their grapes. It is their use of technology in the management and devel- opment of the vineyards that ensures premium pisco grapes for the production of their Pisco. Quebranta
The Quebranta grape is the strongest of all Pisco grape varieties and the most widely grown. It is from the non-aromatic family and therefore best appreciated through taste rather than aroma. Italia
Made from the partially fermented wine of 100% Italia grapes.This is distilled in small batches using classic pisco pot distillation to bottling strength using neither water or any other added ingredients. The Italia grape is a favourite because of its floral, sweet, aromatic character.
