BODEGA Y VIÑEDOS CASAS

NUESTRA HISTORIA

Our history as a pisco company goes back approximately 100 years, when the Casas family settled in the valley of Catapalla – Lunahuaná, and decided to establish their wineries, applying their knowledge of planting, cultivation and production of wines and piscos.
After many years of history, knowledge and mysticism in the handling of these delicious delicacies (as one of the ancestors, Don Fausto Casas, called it), the Casas family decided to spread this ancestral knowledge through their products with that perfect balance of aromas and flavors. Our wine products have a unique flavor and it is believed that it is related to ancestral knowledge added to the mystery that is said to exist in their vineyards, since by something inexplicable to understand or discover, they achieve that perfect balance of aromas and flavors in their distillates.
This unique flavor along with the mystery is something impressive that only you can discover.

The ancestors of the Casas family settled in this valley more than 100 years ago, due to the appropriate characteristics of these lands and climate for planting grapevines
