De La Motta Pisco

The origins of De La Motta Pisco can be traced back to the vision of its founder, who established the distillery to create a modern interpretation of traditional Peruvian pisco. Building upon the rich heritage of pisco production that dates back to the 16th century, the distillery was officially founded in the early 2000s. The goal was to offer a high-quality product that would stand out in a growing market. Over the years, De La Motta has seen significant milestones, including the introduction of various pisco varieties tailored to the evolving tastes of consumers. The distillery has continually embraced innovation, employing both traditional pot stills and contemporary techniques. As a responsible producer, it emphasizes sustainable practices throughout its operations, ensuring that the impact on the environment is minimal while upholding the quality of its spirits. Through its persistence, De La Motta has established itself as a reputable name in the competitive pisco landscape.

Nestled in the Lunahuaná Valley of Cañete, Peru, De La Motta Pisco benefits immensely from its geographical location, which is characterized by a unique microclimate and rich, fertile soils. The area is bordered by the peaks of the Andes, providing a natural barrier that protects the vineyards from harsh weather, while the presence of the Cañete River supplies vital water resources necessary for healthy grape cultivation. With a warm, sunny climate and cooler evenings, the grapes achieve optimal ripeness, leading to flavors that are both concentrated and nuanced. The unique soil compositions in the valley play a significant role as well, allowing the terroir to impart distinctive characteristics to the grape varieties used in De La Motta’s piscos. This harmonious blend of climate, soil, and traditional winemaking practices helps to forge the signature flavor profiles that have made De La Motta a sought-after brand in the world of spirits.
