Barsol Pisco Italia

Barsol Pisco Italia is a single-grape pisco from BarSol, made at Bodega San Isidro in Peru's Ica Valley from 100% Italia grapes. Italia is a close relative of the Muscat family and is prized among pisco makers for its floral aromatics and natural sweetness. The grapes, all sourced from the Ica Valley, are fully fermented into wine and then distilled in small batches on a copper pot still, with no water or other additives used. The result is bottled at 41.3% ABV in a 750ml bottle: an intensely aromatic pisco suited to sipping or to fresh, citrus-based cocktails.

Tasting Notes: Floral and tropical, with honey and golden raisin.

Nose: Very complex: honeysuckle, rose petal, hibiscus, mango, passion fruit, melon, ripe pineapple and citrus.

Palate: Guava, passion fruit, melon, honeydew, pineapple, green apple, honey and golden raisin.

Finish: Well structured, balanced, smooth and lingering.

Serve: Neat, or in a Pisco Sour or Chilcano.
