SELETA 5 ESTRELAS CRUZEIRO UMBURANA

The label honors Cruzeiro, a soccer club from Minas Gerais recently acquired by the renowned player Ronaldo, who was a world champion with the Brazilian team in 1994 and 2002, and a runner-up in 1998. Seleta, the largest producer of artisanal cachaça in the country using copper stills, supports and actively participates in the growth and evolution of this market, having produced labels of unique quality, flavor, and inspiration for over 40 years. In addition to its factory, the company operates a cooperage, a bottling plant, and its own storage facilities. The chosen location is ideal: Salinas, in the interior of Minas Gerais, known as the World Capital of Cachaça and recognized with the Seal of Geographical Indication by the INPI in 2012. The soil, climate, and geographic setting are favorable for the development of diverse wild yeasts, which contribute to the quality and flavor of the beverages produced by Seleta. Each bottle contains a piece of Brazil, representing the most authentic spirit of the nation. Antônio Rodrigues, Seleta's founder and president, is a celebrated figure for many and an example of intelligent entrepreneurship for others. The journey of Toni Rodrigues and his dedication to cachaça began over 40 years ago. Through significant effort and overcoming challenges, this visionary entrepreneur transformed the market, shifting from the dominance of 'pinga' to introducing branded cachaças of exceptional quality to the country. He believes the key to success lies in three elements: knowledge, skill, and attitude. With over 120 employees, Rodrigues views his staff as a large family, stating, “We share the same ideals, intentions, and direction, ensuring everyone is in sync.” These collaborators, along with thousands of fans and consumers of Seleta beverages worldwide, form a community known as 'seleteiros.' These are individuals who appreciate and consider the brand uniquely special. Toni, recognized as the King of Cachaça, has played a vital role in elevating the drink from a bar staple to a beverage increasingly enjoyed by Brazil's economic and cultural elite.
