Pisco / Feature Articles

The promotion of PISCO, one of the most important national flagship products, has motivated the participation of new producers in the market who have entered successfully in to their great challenge of not only making pisco a symbol of national identity, but also a product that generates new capital investment, more sources of income and contributes to the development of the country.

PISCO Don Zacarias is the result of a new entrepreneurial effort that only has three years in the national market. In this short time, PISCO Don Zacarias has merited five prizes (two regional prizes in Ica and two national prizes in 2005 and 2006) in two of the grape varieties that we have been specializing in: Torontel and Italia. This shows us that being new in this tough yet gratifying business, doesn’t keep us from producing the quality and precision to satisfy the tastes and demands of the palates that know how to drink a good PISCO.

PISCO Don Zacarias strives to make Peruvian PISCO a recognized liquor that not only takes advantage of happily mixing it in the creation of cocktails (like the famous pisco sour or chilcano), but also mainly so that it becomes an almost natural accompaniment to our food, buffets and other gastronomic evens. We also believe that we are advancing down this challenging path.

We feel gratified as part of a new initiative of many entrepreneurs who are betting on Peru and this important and emblematic product.
