Cachaça Pitú is produced in the city of Vitória de Santo Antão, in the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, a regional cradle of sugarcane and cachaça.
The brand was founded in 1938 by the founding families Ferrer de Morais and Cândido Carneiro, who named the brand after the local stream "Pitú," known for the freshwater shrimp that were abundant in it. It is still run by the fourth and fifth generations of the family, highlighting the continuity of traditional family values.
Pitú is distilled exclusively from fresh sugarcane juice grown in the local "massapê" soil type. Each bottle undergoes a single distillation process, which is key to preserving its aromatic qualities.
After distillation, Pitú ages in wooden tanks for several weeks, which gives it smoothness and allows the flavors to balance. This process preserves its fresh and authentic character.
Pitú Cachaça offers a fresh aroma of sugarcane, complemented by subtle notes of green grass and a hint of citrus peel.
On the palate, it is light and fresh, with pronounced notes of sugarcane, citrus, and a delicate herbal character reminiscent of tarragon and thyme. The finish is short to medium, with lightly sweet and spicy echoes.
Bottles are filled with an alcohol content of 38% with a volume of 1 l.
