BUONGIORNO, PERU
THE STORY BEHIND THE DRINK
When Italian immigrants arrived in Peru, they brought with them a simple habit: grappa mixed with ginger ale and lemon to revive the body after long nights. They called it the buongiorno.
Grappa was scarse. Pisco was not.
The substitution was natural. The drink evolved. The Chilcano was born - fresh, vibrant, effortlessly uplifting. A bridge between Italy and Peru, carried by migration and reinvention.
