Volteo Cristalino is aged tequila with a crystal-clear finish: rested in French oak wine barrels, then filtered until it pours as bright as a blanco. It is the most refined expression in Volteo's lineup, and its gradient bottle is a showpiece on any back bar.
Volteo is the work of Zamora Company USA, the American arm of the Spanish family-owned spirits group, which spent two years developing the brand before launching it with Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott as co-founder and investor. The tequila is distilled and bottled at Destilería Casa de Piedra in Jalisco under NOM 1586. Volteo positions itself as one of the few luxury tequilas that is both organic and additive-free, and the brand states that no artificial sweeteners, colorings or flavor enhancers are used.
Production follows a traditional, unhurried path. Hand-selected organic blue Weber agave is roasted in masonry ovens, then double distilled in alembic-style pot stills and rested for 30 days in stainless steel before going into wood. For the cristalino, the tequila spends at least three months in French oak barrels that previously held wine. It is then passed through activated carbon, which strips away the barrel's color and, according to the brand, rounds the bouquet. It is bottled at 80 proof.
