Guatemala's Industrial Property Register (IRP) has recognized —for an indefinite period— the denomination of origin for pisco in favor of Peru.
This
new achievement was possible thanks to efforts undertaken by the Inca country's Foreign Affairs Ministry and the Peruvian Embassy in the Central American country, in coordination with the National Institute for the Defense of Competition and Protection of Intellectual Property (Indecopi).
According to the Foreign Affairs Ministry and Indecopi, these diplomatic and legal efforts act in response to a strategy aimed at protecting and legitimizing
Peruvian pisco worldwide.
Thus, the Inca country —through its Foreign Affairs Ministry and Indecopi— reaffirms its commitment to defending the
denomination of origin for pisco around the globe.
As is known, Peru's flagship product pisco is a brandy type of drink made out of grapes.
Pisco varieties
One of them is Puro, which is special due to its fine distillation and single-grape origin.
Another one is Mosto Verde —made from the distillation of fresh musts that are not fully fermented.
Also, among the options, there is Acholado —obtained from the blend of different grape or pisco varieties.
Finally, there is Aromatico. This kind of pisco smells like flowers and fruits, featuring an aromatic flavor.
