PiscoLogía's Nati Gordillo Awarded Female Craft Distiller of the Year by Craft Spirits Berlin
Gordillo was selected as the best in the world among a pool of distillers of artisanal, sustainable and regionally- sourced spirits.
BERLIN, GERMANY, March 01, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ -- PiscoLogía's Master Distiller and partner, Nati Gordillo, was designated Female Craft Distiller of the Year by Craft Spirits Berlin, Europe's premier event for handcrafted spirits. Highlighting the unique terroir of Azpitia, Peru, and Nati's meticulous artisanal methods, Craft Spirits Berlin declared: "This has to be paradise: green, fertile slopes with grapevines on top, a gentle microclimate, protected by the high mountains that open up directly behind them…..From the cultivation of the vines to the harvest, the pressing of the grapes, later the distillation and the bottling and labeling, the responsibility lies with Nati Gordillo."
"For me, pisco production is a way of life. The concept of craft starts in the vineyard and ends when PiscoLogía is consumed. It is incredible to be recognized for the special attention I give to each batch of PiscoLogía and to be further connected to the worldwide community of those who share the same values and principles as I," stated Ms. Gordillo.
Head of education for the brand, partner Kami Kenna commented: "Not only did the award recognize Nati's phenomenal work as Master Distiller, but it also emphasized the "women power" behind the product. Now is the time for the strength of women producers, especially minorities, to be recognized in the spirits industry. We are so proud of Nati and the incredible pisco she makes. This milestone is a step in the right direction for all women!
The most renowned contest for craft spirits in Europe, the annual Craft Spirits Berlin allows producers to showcase their handcrafted spirits, fortified wines, handmade soft drinks, fillers and syrups on the worldwide stage. For more information, please visit: https://www.craftspiritsberlin.de/en/
