What we have to understand is that when we drink an excellent quality vodka we are going to find an elegant, silky, clean and easy drink. The vodka step by step
Faced with the wide variety offered by the Argentine beverage market, it is necessary to know some keys that will allow us to identify quality products, without necessarily being specialists in the subject. As is the case of, for example, Sernova, the Fratelli Branca vodka, which is made with a unique characteristic on the market.
But, let us start at the beginning. The particularity that vodka has compared to other distilled beverages is that it has no flavor, aroma or color. As it does not have a defined pattern of flavors and aromas, it is believed that the flavor of vodka has to be the flavor of strong alcohol, with an aroma that stings our noses, scratchy in our throats, and leaves us feeling rejected by alcohol. take it.
But in reality what we have to understand is that when we drink an excellent quality vodka we are going to find an elegant, silky, clean and easy to drink drink.
The vodka step by step
But to get to have a product with such a high quality, the vodka must comply with the following manufacturing steps:
- It all starts with a good raw material. A vodka can be made with any agricultural raw material that contains starch, we can make it from potatoes, cereals, sugar cane, beets (taking advantage of their sugars) or grapes, etc. Experts say that the best vodkas are always made with grains. In the case of Sernova, it is a vodka made with a Blend of cereals, wheat, corn and sorghum.
- Once the raw material is selected, it is ground to extract all its natural enzymes that will be important in the fermentation process. These enzymes contain sugars that, when they come into contact with the yeasts that are added to the fermentation tanks, turn into alcohol.
- After obtaining this fermented liquid, it begins to distill. Sernova has 7 distillationsenough to obtain an alcohol of excellent quality and super rectified.
- When the distillate is ready, we enter the dissolution process, that is, the alcohol is mixed with extremely pure water to reduce its alcohol content to about 37.5° of alcohol.
- Finally, we enter the filtration, it is here where Sernova brings out a process that makes it unique. We have three filtrations, the first two are with activated carbon; all vodka goes through activated carbon filters, there are more than 152 types in the world, and Sernova uses the highest quality activated carbon. this filtering makes the water even more pure.
Black diamonds, the differential
Up to here, one can speak of a traditional vodka. However, Sernova adds a special and unique filter on the market: a filter with “black diamonds” Thanks to this material, and through a chemical affinity process, the alcohol contained in the vodka is further purified.
Black diamonds are natural precious stones, porous on their surface that belong to the crystallized Carbon family. In this step, any imperceptible impurity that may be in the alcohol is removed, leaving an extremely clean product. Sernova is the only vodka on the market to have this process, which results in a very pure vodka with a drinkability different from the rest.
