Novo Fogo Tanager is the first cachaça to benefit from double maturation in two different types of wood. In fact, after a year's ageing in reused oak casks, it is transferred to arariba casks for a few months' finishing. Arariba is a zebrawood typical of southern Brazil, which gives a very natural and original red color.
The Novo Fogo distillery is located in Pico do Marumbi, in the heart of the rainforest and at the foot of the Serra do Mar mountains. The entire range of cachaças is certified organic. The sugar canes are harvested by hand and pressed within hours of cutting. Fermentation of the vesou with wild yeasts takes 18 hours, followed by distillation in a copper still.
This is an original cachaça that can be enjoyed neat or in a cocktail, such as a Sazerac.
