But very few times we know how pisco is made, join us to discover more about this charming distilled beverage. Pisco is made from grape must, the first thing that is done for its production is to determine the amount of dry matter present in the grape. Whose average measure is between 13 and 13.5 so that the grape can serve and there are no deficiencies in its alcohol level. 
The grapes are then crushed and the maximum amount of juice is extracted from them. Once this step is completed, the chemical process begins, where the must will remain in fermentation for approximately 14 days at a temperature not exceeding 40°C.
When the juice is dry, the distillation process begins. This is a delicate point, because if it is not done in time, the matter will become pungent and the yeasts will immediately start to decompose. Pisco is processed in alembics or falcas, the falcas are covered with mud for about 7 hours while the liquid boils, while the alembic is closed with cement and the alcohol vapor travels through a swan neck pipe.
