In a conversation with several master distillers<\/a>, discussing different topics and at one point we asked if we should have a pisco type within the regulations between the wineries with more production, let's say more than 50,000 liters per year, which we would call \"industrial\" and those with less, called \"artisan\".<\/strong> We still don't have this regulated. Another topic we discussed was that of pisco contest<\/a>. Also I asked one of them, who works in a winery and produces more than 50,000 liters, why they did not submit samples to the pisco national contest? I told them that in my opinion they have several medal-winning piscos,<\/strong>, he answered that they only entered the Expo Pisco contest organized by Wong every year.<\/strong>This is because they consider that it is a fairer contest since the bottles are chosen from the supermarket shelves and the consumer benefits because they can access the winning piscos directly, something that does not always happen in regional or national contests, where the samples are not necessarily in the market. Once this is resolved, it is very likely that we will participate, commented.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We stayed talking about this topic of the contests and making history, the regional and national contests officially began in 1993 in Ica; the exact date programmed was May 15 and 16. There is a document with the details of the \"First National Pure Pisco Competition\"<\/strong> (so it reads), sponsored by the Vista Alegre Winery, organized by the Sub-Regional Direction of Industry, Commerce, Tourism and Handicrafts of Ica in charge of Mrs. Cely Mercado Sedano, the Directorate of Industry and Handicrafts in charge of Julio Valenzuela Pelayo and Reynaldo Valencia Anchante, the Chamber of Commerce Industry and Tourism Ica<\/a>, in charge of Dr. Guillermo Arguedas Schiantarelli, there is also a resolution of the Presidency of the Regional Government \"Libertadores Wari\" which creates the Peruvian Pisco Day<\/strong> at regional level to be held on the third Sunday of May. (Today the national day of Pisco is celebrated on the 4th Sunday of July), the document also has some history of the Denomination of Origin Pisco<\/a>, mentions the organizers, more sponsors, Latino & Continental Banks, Hotel Mossone, Bodega El Catador, etc.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Mr. Roberto Orellana, and Mr. Ronald Wilson, the Honorary Committee chaired by Mr. Alfonso Bustamante y Bustamante, Minister of Industry, Tourism, Integration and International Trade Negotiations, Mr. V\u00edctor Febres Castillo, President of the \"Los Libertadores Wari\" Region, Mr. Luis Vega Monteferri of the Society of Industries, Mr. Jorge Picasso Perata of the Wine Committee, Mr. Jorge Falla Figueroa, National Director of Industry, Mr. Jorge Falla Figueroa, National Director of Industry, Mr. Jorge Falla Figueroa, National Director of Industry, Mr. Jorge Falla Figueroa, National Director of Industry, Mr. Jorge Falla Figueroa, National Director of Industry, and Mr. Jorge Falla Figueroa, National Director of Industry.

It is interesting to see the regulations of the 1th Pure Pisco Competition,<\/strong>, I rescue these two titles: Of the classification Article 11 paragraph a). - The appreciation of the tasters will indicate the organoleptic quality of the product, according to the following score:<\/p>

Appearance (view) and color 4 points\nNose, aromas 8 points\nTaste, 8 points
Olor 8 puntos
Sabor 8 puntos<\/p>

They also evaluate the score by alcoholic content as follows:
42\u00ba to 43. 9\u00ba (by distillation) 3 points\n44\u00ba to 45. 9\u00ba (by distillation) 5 points\n46\u00ba to 50\u00ba (by distillation) 4 points
44\u00ba a 45.9\u00ba (por destilaci\u00f3n) 5 puntos
46\u00ba a 50\u00ba (por destilaci\u00f3n) 4 puntos<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Nowadays, according to the regulations of the Denomination of Origin Pisco<\/strong> of February 2011 (the valid one), piscos from 38\u00ba to 48\u00ba Vol. can be elaborated. Imagine the evaluations of the year 93, they did not consider piscos under 42\u00ba, those with higher Vol. degrees obtained higher scores, a subject to be discussed in a future article. Drink responsibly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
