The story of Pisco begins with the arrival of vines in colonial South America. Spanish settlers introduced grape growing along the Pacific coast, where dry valleys, irrigation, and sunlight allowed viticulture to develop in areas that were otherwise defined by desert, mountains, and ocean. Wine came first. Distilled grape spirit followed. In Peru, the name […]
