Suyo Pisco 'No. 2' Italia
- Small batch varietal pisco distilled in the Mala Valley of Lima, Peru
- Distilled from 100% Italia grapes, grown on Fundo Puente Viejo, 5m above sea level, and hand-harvested in 2020
- Maceration, pressing, fermentation, and distillation take place at the bodega of Fredy Puma, who has been distilling pisco for over 15 years
- Spontaneously fermented using wild yeast
- Distilled to proof with a single distillation on a copper alembic still
- Rested for 23 months before bottling in food-grade polyethylene tanks that have been cured with the heads of previous distillation runs
- In accordance with the D.O. for Peruvian pisco, no water is added post-distillation
- A high-toned nose of tropical fruit displays guava, underripe mango, and bosc pear with savory undertones of celery root and sourdough bread; a round and oily palate echoes much of the nose with a pronounced florality, providing lavender, honeysuckle, and calamansi orange before receding to a mineralic finish punctuated by pear, orange blossom, and key lime
- Non-chill filtered; 41.2% ABV
