Valle di Ica
The Ica Valley, in southern Peru, is one of the most important and historic wine regions in Latin America. Known as the cradle of Peruvian viticulture, this valley has a winemaking tradition dating back to the 16th century, when the Spanish conquistadors introduced the first vines. Thanks to its warm, sunny climate, its sandy soils and an irrigation system fed by Andean rivers, the Ica Valley is the ideal place for growing grapes used to produce wines and the famous Pisco, Peru’s national spirit.

Metodo Classico
The Metodo Classico is a refined sparkling winemaking technique used to produce high-quality sparkling wines.

In bottle (7–18 months)
Ageing in bottle for a period of between 7 and 18 months represents an intermediate stage of maturation, ideal for those wines that have already completed their ageing in wood, stainless steel or concrete, and that need further time to achieve full harmony and stability before being released. During this period, the wine develops slowly in the absence of oxygen, refining its structure, aromatic balance and softness on the palate.
