NATANAEL CARLI BONICONTRO

Cachaçaria Companheira® was founded by a chemical engineer called Natanael Carli Bonicontro, after a laboratory classroom experience. It was passion at first sight that motivated him to perfect himself in the art of producing such a tasty drink. In 1994, he began his journey by designing and building a mill he created by himself. Such mill was idealized exclusively for the production of Cachaça Companheira®. “Cachaças” are elaborated by a unique standardized distillation process. Sugarcane, its raw material, has a totally manual cultivation, from planting to harvest, in a region where water and good land, combined with a favorable climate, provides a greater augmentation in the excellence of its quality. The sum of these factors made Companheira® stand out amongst the best “cachaças” of Brazil. There are more than 20 awards won by Companheira® in the most prestigious distillate contests around the world, such as the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles [World Contest in Brussels], Expocachaça [Exhibition] and the Cachaça Summit Ranking.
