Mancini Beverage hosted a trade tasting with staff from Wine & Spirits Retail Marketing, Inc., at Condesa in Warwick on July 18. Terrance O’Neill, Market Manager – MA, Código Tequila, was on-site to give guests a brand education and tasting of the Código Tequila line. Guests enjoyed signature craft cocktails created by Eduardo Cortes, Beverage Manager, Condesa, featuring Código 1530 Tequila paired with assorted tacos. Código 1530 100% agave azul tequilas—available in Blanco, Añejo, Barrel Strength Añejo, Reposado, George Strait Origen Extra Añejo and Rosa expressions—are made using hand-selected, fully matured agave from Amatitán, Mexico, from freshwater pools and rainwater. Each batch is then filtered through the volcanic soil of Los Bajos and aged in the finest Napa Valley Cabernet French white oak wine barrels through the family’s time-honored aging technique, rather than the more commonly used American whiskey barrels. This distinctive difference in the aging embraces the clean elegance of winemaking to produce a uniquely delicate finish.
