Giulia’s journey begins in the agave fields of the Jalisco Highlands, where they mature for a minimum of six years in the rich volcanic soil.
COOKING
We slowly cook the agave in traditional brick ovens, or horno, for 72 hours. Cooking in brick ovens is a time consuming process, but one that preserves the agave’s natural flavors to the greatest extent possible.
EXTRACTION
After cooking, the agave fibers are broken apart using a traditional roller mill, releasing the agave juice to be used in fermentation
FERMENTATION
The agave juice, or mosto, is then transferred to stainless steel fermentation tanks where the yeast converts most of the sugar into alcohol, lasting approximately 3 days
DISTILLATION
After fermentation, the mosto is twice distilled in traditional copper stills for superior heat regulation and to remove maximum impurities
BOTTLING
After taking a narrow cut of the heart during distillation, Giulia is bottled additive free, using deep well water, to give consumers a pure expression of distilled agave.
