(ENG) Pisco is an alcoholic beverage originally from Peru, made from the distillation of freshly fermented grape musts. Its production began in the late 16th century after the arrival of the first grapevines from Spain to Peru. Since then, pisco production has undergone various advancements, but in recent years it has experienced significant growth, becoming a highly prestigious beverage not only in Peru but also in Europe and the USA due to its traditional copper pot still distillation and the different grape varieties used. In 1990, the Industrial Property Directorate of the Institute of Industrial Technological Research and Technical Standards-ITINTEC granted the designation of origin to Peruvian pisco, and a year later, the production territory of Peruvian pisco was officially established in the coastal area of the departments of Lima, Ica, Arequipa, Moquegua, and Tacna. Currently, this distilled spirit is recognized by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) as a Designation of Origin from Peru.
