TEQUILA SANGRE DE VIDA REPOSADO EL CORAZÒN CL.70

Sangre de Vida is distilled from home-made agaves -weber- that have grown between 10 and 14 years. The soil in which the agave grows is of considerable importance. For this reason Sangre de Vida uses only agaves from its own fields in the area around Tequila, in the state of Jalisco. The best blue agaves thrive in the unique soil of this region, which is located within the protected area of ​​origin of tequila.

After being hand-picked, agave hearts (piñas) are slowly cooked in a brick oven for around 36 hours. This traditional art of slow cooking prevents agave from caramelizing and helps maintain its naturally sweet taste.

To extract the sweet juice (wort), the cooked piñas are crushed and mashed. The must obtained is then left to rest for five days in natural fermentation.

Sangre de Vida is distilled three times with great care, guaranteeing the purity and best properties of the tequila.

For storage, only French white oak barrels of alms are used, a type of wood rather atypical for a tequila. The unusual storage in oak gives Sangre de Vida its special and complex properties. The aging process is constantly monitored by the Master Distiller. Sangre de Vida Reposado is bottled after 90 days, Añejo after a year.
