Viñas Queirolo's strategic expansion into nearly 2,000 acres of prime vineyard land in Peru's Ica Valley in 2003 marked a significant investment in elevating the country's fine wine and spirits industry. This development led to the creation of Intipalka, the estate's premium label—named after the Quechua phrase meaning "valley of the sun"—a nod to Peru's rich cultural heritage and the estate's deep connection to its terroir. Situated in high-altitude desert conditions with pronounced diurnal temperature shifts, the vineyards yield fruit of exceptional quality, producing wines with notable structure, balance, and aromatic precision.

This unwavering focus on quality and innovation has positioned Viñas Queirolo at the forefront of Peru's premium beverage sector—an achievement reinforced by their success at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition and emphasized by its growing reputation for excellence on the international stage. From the refined and expressive Intipalka wines to the versatile, food-friendly Santiago Queirolo range, and the estate's artisanal Piscos—crafted with single-varietal precision and ideal for both classic and modern mixology—Viñas Queirolo offers a compelling portfolio that reflects both authenticity and commercial viability. These accolades reinforce the estate's role as a key player in bringing Peruvian wines and spirits to discerning global markets.

Intipalka and Santiago Queirolo wines and piscos can be found nationwide in liquor stores, wine shops, on the website https://santiagoqueirolo.com/export/, and at your local Total Wine & More.

About Viñas Queirolo - www.santiagoqueirolo.com
The history of Bodega Santiago Queirolo dates back to 1880, when Santiago Queirolo Raggio, a Genoese immigrant, arrived in Peru with his family from Italy in search of new opportunities. The family settled in the district of Magdalena Vieja, now known as Pueblo Libre, where Santiago began working with his passion for winemaking. Initially, Santiago produced wines and piscos in an artisanal way for local consumption, which quickly gained popularity among the community of the time. Over time, his small production became a prosperous business, marking the first steps of what would become a family tradition and one of the most emblematic wineries in Peru. Today, the winery controls estate vineyards in Ica Valley and Cañete Valley that are meticulously farmed by the third generation of Queirolo: Santiago, Jorge and Francisco.
