ABOUT US
The story of Picciotto Distilling Company began in 1954, when Rafael Picciotto turned his fascination with wines and spirits into a lifelong pursuit. His dedication to quality, authenticity, and craftsmanship laid the foundation for a family legacy that would shape the industry in Colombia and beyond.
Guided by the same vision, his sons Daniel and Mauricio Picciotto expanded the family's reach, transforming a local distillery into a producer recognized for its mastery in rum, brandy, and whisky.
Today, the third generation carries this legacy forward with the same conviction that started it all: to celebrate heritage through excellence and to bring Colombia's craftsmanship to the world.
Every product created under the Picciotto name bears the same signature of artistry, integrity, and vision; a testament to a family that has spent decades shaping taste and building bridges across the global industry.
VISION
To position the Picciotto Distilling Company as Latin America’s leading multi-category house of wines and spirits, a global ambassador of Colombian craftsmanship, recognized for its excellence, integrity, and innovation across every product it creates and every market it reaches.
MISSION
To craft, represent, and export premium wines and spirits that reflect the mastery, diversity, and heritage of the Picciotto family.
