Pisco Brand: QOLLQE
Producer: Cecilia Ledesma
Contact: Cecicila Ledesma

This pisco is very special, from the strict selection of its grapes (7-8 Kg. per liter) to its fermentation and distillation processes, which are under the supervision of 2 Peruvian enologists who studied in Europe as well as my constant personal direction, in which I utilize a bit of the knowledge I gained from my studies in Pisco Tasting at the IDVIP. There is also a year-long settling process that contributes to the refinement of the aroma and the quality of the pisco. Because of all this, you will not find this pisco in any supermarket as it is considered a boutique pisco.

QOLLQE is limited to the products harvested from lands in Ica which follow traditional Peruvian grape growing methods that give a good yield and quality. It is processed in a traditional way, thus maintaining its traditional yet natural essence, as well as with the purpose of maintaining the highest levels of quality. Since it is an exclusive product, its production is limited to no more than 5,000 liters per year.

This pisco remains an exclusive product through a rigorous selection of the raw materials which are cultivated under a carefully controlled process. The final result is a product with an unmistakable expression of a high quality Pisco.

The same time, care and dedication is spent on the packaging of the product: The label, the hand-tied tag and the box are all silk-printed, not mass printed.
