Pisco. Cultural Heritage of Peru. 1

PISCO (Pisco documentary. Part 1)

The first grape stocks were brought from the Canary Islands to the Ica oases south of Lima in 1551. Local winemakers soon started making a grape brandy they shipped to other Spanish colonies from the port of Pisco that eventually gave its name to the local grape brandy. Now, outstanding quality "pisco" full of flavor, bouquet and body is made in the warm oases dotting the dry coastal desert, all along the Southwestern Pacific coast of Peru, from Lima to Tacna.

Pisco is Peru's national drink and is made in traditional distilleries in the Mala, San Antonio, Santa Cruz de Flores, San Vicente de Cañete, Pacarán and Lunahuaná wineries south of Lima. Further south, in Ica, over 80 wineries in the Chincha, Pisco, Ica, Palpa and Nasca valleys distill outstanding pisco, as well as further south, in the Arequipa valleys of Majes, Vítor and La Joya. Closer to the southern border in Moquegua, about some 10 wineries produce not only pisco but also "mistela", a mix of pisco and wine. Fine pisco brandy and apricot fruit brandy is typical of the 35 wineries in Tacna, in the southern end of Peru. At several wineries visitors can stay on the premises and take part in pisco making during their stay. The grape* harvest in February and March is a truly popular celebration and February 8 is Peru's Pisco Sour cocktail day. Pisco brandy made from "Italia" and "Quebranta" grape stocks are most popular while "acholado" blends a variety of grape stocks. All "pisco" is made 38° to 46° proof. Renowned "pisco sour cocktail" one of the world's most delicious is made by shaking 3 oz. pisco, one oz. lime juice, one oz. gum syrup, a half egg white, and four ice cubes. Sprinkle 2 or 3 drops bitter on top after pouring.

*"Pisco grape" types: Quebranta, black, Mollar, Uvina, and the aromatic ones: Italia, Torontel, Albilla and Moscatel.

El canal de cable The History Channel transmitirá este jueves 21 de agosto un programa especial en honor al pisco (el verdadero), la bebida bandera del Perú.

Será transmitido este jueves 21 de agosto a las 21:00 horas (hora peruana).

Las repeticiones están programadas para el viernes 22 de agosto a las 02:00 horas y 14:00 horas. La denominación Pisco tiene su origen peruano y varios lugares geográficos del Perú se llaman Pisco y han tenido ese nombre desde inicios de la Colonia

No se puede tener relaciones si primero no sabemos quienes somos y que heredamos y nosotros los peruanos heredamos el Pisco. Espero compartir lo bueno que tengo con el resto del mundo, como acepto de gratamente todo lo bueno que el mundo me ofrece. Eso es la base de las relaciones.

nunca vamos atener buenas relaciones es inutil. para no estar en discuciones eternas la unica solucion es simple no tengamos ningun tipo de relaciones diplomaticas ni comercialesnu turisticas.

y se acaba el problema que chile expulse atodos los peruanos de chile y peru tamebien expulse alos chilenos y todos felices para que tenemos relaciones si nos odiamos y los chilenos dejen alos peruanos con su pisco no se van amorir  por no tomarlo y se libran de los peruanos

pisco means "bird" in the indian peruvian language. it's a peruvian city's name either . it was the place where it produces the liquor which has the same name, pisco. the chilean pisco is another kind of liquor, a chilean manufacturer baptized it with the same peruvian name (acording to the history)
