The history of this cachaça begins in 1912 in José de Melo, today Nova União, Minas Gerais. The founder, Sérgio Caetano, started to produce it in the small still on the farm for his own consumption, as his parents did. The Germana brand was inspired by a nun of the same name, who attracted numerous pilgrims to the Serra da Piedade Sanctuary, in Caeté, at the beginning of the 19th century. They sought healing with medicines based on cachaça and herbs. In 1988, the ten Caetano brothers, today shareholders of the Germana Group, took part in the leadership of the Minas Gerais Association of Quality Cachaça Producers (AMPAQ), a project that began in Minas and spread throughout Brazil. Since the beginning, the objective of this project has been to give cachaça the same status as all distilled beverages in the world. In order for the work of the Caetano brothers to flow with intensity, infecting the greatest possible number of consumers, they created, in 1989, the first Cachaçaria in Brazil in Belo Horizonte named Alambique Cachaçaria e Armazém, which completed its 25th anniversary. of success in 2014. Today, the Germana Group employs 200 employees in its companies, where the themes are always based on cachaça. This traditional label has been winning several awards in national and international competitions, in addition to being present in the cellars of the most demanding Brazilian and foreign consumers. Cachaça is distributed in all states of Brazil and exported to eight countries. Produced by hand in copper stills, Germana can be found in five versions, where storage location, aging time and wood used vary.
