Peru there is a good chance that it
came from Tacama. There also are a
couple of other wineries in the area
that produce excellent quality wines
as well.
About 40 kilometers south of the city
of Ica is the winery Ocucaje. Ocu-
caje is arguably just as well known
as Tacama, mainly because Ocucaje
was the first winery to be established
in this area. They are mainly known
for the care and attention they
put into producing
some of the
nation’s
best Piscos year after. But, they have
not shied away from putting that
same effort into producing high qual-
ity wines as well.
The winery Vista Alegre lies about
3 kilometers north of the city of Ica
and produces wine and Pisco using
some of the most modern machinery
available. Vista Alegre is probably
the most technically advanced of the
wineries located near Ica but they
have also managed to keep
some traces of Peru’s rich
wine growing history.
A wine from Vista
Alegre is
certain to
be good.
