    Entirely made with the Italia grape variety, as Moscatel de Alejandría is known in Peru, this comes from 15-year-old vineyard planted on sandy soils in Pisco, about 30 kilometers from the sea. Vinified in stainless steel tanks with native yeasts (with maceration time on its skins) and aged in concrete eggs, this is a serious Moscatel, with deep flavors, floral notes, and herbal tones. Intense in all its aspects, the acidity is firm and sharp, and the texture is ample and rice in volume. Save a bottle to open in 10 years.
