Pisco is a grape brandy originating from Peru, known for its distinctive flavor profile.
Pisco originates from the Andean region of Peru, specifically in the provinces of Arequipa and Ayacucho.
There are typically four main grape varieties used in making Pisco: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Syrah/Shiraz.
Pisco has become a significant part of Peru's cultural identity, serving as a symbol of national pride and being widely consumed during celebrations and social gatherings.
Making Pisco involves selecting high-quality grapes, fermenting them under controlled conditions, and distilling the resulting alcohol to create a clear, golden liquid.
