CACHAÇA ESTÂNCIA MORETTI PRATA

The family legacy of Cachaça appreciation is evident in Luiz Carlos Moretti's production of Cachaça Estância Moretti. He inherited a passion for spirits from his Italian ancestors, who had a tradition of working with beverages. However, his love for the distinctively Brazilian distillate stems from his father and grandfather, who were keen cachaça drinkers. Over time, Luiz felt inspired to create his own spirit, one that met his specific sensory expectations. He desired to craft his own Artisanal Cachaça, captivated by the production process and the exceptional quality of the final product. In 2001, he launched Cachaça Estância Moretti, named after his family. It is produced at Cachaçaria Companheira in Jandaia do Sul, Paraná. The sugarcane used for the distillate is harvested manually during winter when it is ripest. Distillation occurs in a copper still, and the entire aging process takes place in American or French oak barrels. This Cachaça was stored in stainless steel tanks. It is light, with a 40% alcohol content. It's excellent for summer consumption, served over ice, and pairs well with seafood, particularly shrimp dishes. It's also ideal for sipping neat or as a base for drinks and cocktails. SOURCE: Cachaçaria Nacional.
