About Intipalka Pisco Acholado
Intipalka Pisco Acholado is a masterful blend that harmonizes the bold structure of the Quebranta grape with the delicate aromatic character of the Italia grape. This union creates a perfectly balanced spirit — robust yet refined, expressive yet smooth. The Acholado style reflects the artistry of Peru’s pisco heritage, celebrating diversity in grape character and flavor.
Distilled in small batches using traditional copper stills, this pisco is crystal clear with a soft, silvery brightness. On the nose, it reveals elegant notes of white flowers, citrus, and tropical fruit, followed by hints of almond and honey. The palate is round and velvety, with a clean, lingering finish that highlights both the fruit intensity of Italia and the structure of Quebranta.
Versatile and refined, Intipalka Pisco Acholado is perfect for sipping or as a foundation for creative cocktails like the Pisco Sour, Maracuyá Sour, or Pisco Tonic. Each sip embodies Santiago Queirolo’s pursuit of balance, quality, and innovation — a timeless expression of the Ica Valley’s sun-drenched vineyards.
