En the land of Pisco... The Negra Criolla or Negra Corriente Grape

Pisco / Peru more than 400 years of History & Tradition (1613-2013).

This grape is a non-aromatic variety from the Moquegua and Tacna  valleys. It is possibly the oldest of the varieties brought to Peru by the Spanish. It has berries that range from tones of red-violet to red-blue, irregularly colored, round, of a medium size, in cone shape clusters and produces abundant fruit. The grape produces Piscos that are very pleasant and structured in the mouth, with enjoyable and well constituted flavors, with a very good persistence. In the nose the grape evokes light aromas of green, and recently cut grass.
