My friend Miguel produces his artisan raicilla on his property in Tuito. He tells me it takes seven years for the agave to be ready for a February harvest. The tough leaves are cut off revealing the root ball called a <i>pi\u00f1a <\/i>which<i> <\/i>is cut into chunks and cooked for 2-3 days in his wood-fired clay pit then ground into mash and fermented in barrels. It takes 30 gallons of fermented liquid to make one quart of raicilla which Miguel sells from his ranch in El Tuito.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-856 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/propertyjournal.com.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Agave-ranch-300x225-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Compared to tequila and mezcal, raicilla is considered the most fragrant and fruity.
