Born from the wild hillsides of Etucuaro, Michoacan, La Luna Chino Silvestre is a mezcal of rare character, crafted entirely from foraged Agave Cupreata and guided by the hands of Master Distiller Patricio Arreaga Pena. This is a spirit that carries the living landscape of Michoacan in every sip.


The agave is slow-roasted for a full 120 hours, then rested for a week before natural fermentation begins alongside the bagazo. Distillation takes place in traditional copper and pine stills, and the entire process reflects a commitment to artisanal mezcal-making that is being passed forward through a dedicated apprenticeship program at La Luna.


  • Nose: Passion fruit, lemon, pine, and pineapple open bright and inviting, with a wild, herbaceous depth underneath.
  • Palate: Rich and layered with tobacco, pine resin, mint, anise, and a gentle thread of smoke that winds through each sip.
  • Finish: Very fresh with lasting herbal notes that linger long after the glass is set down.

La Luna Chino Silvestre shines in a Mezcal Negroni, where its smoke and herbal complexity play beautifully against vermouth and bitter orange. It is equally at home in a simple Mezcal Paloma, letting the fruit-forward nose speak clearly alongside grapefruit.


Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to let the aromas open gradually. Produced from 100% wild Agave Cupreata, sourced and distilled in Etucuaro, Michoacan.

La Luna Mezcal comes from the mountains of Michoacán, where proprietor Salvador Chavez works with family mezcaleros around Etúcuaro. Wild and semi-cultivated agaves grow above 2,000 meters and are roasted with local white oak in stone-lined earthen pits, then fermented in open-air wooden vats. Many of its mezcals are distilled in copper and pine wood Filipino-style stills, a tradition of the region, and some vinatas use clay pots. Salvador was born in Michoacán, spent his teens in Sonoma, California, and returned to his family's heritage to start producing and importing mezcal in 2017.

Etúcuaro is a village of about 1,300 people in the municipality of Madero, in the mountains south of Morelia, Michoacán. The municipality lies in the state's Tierra Caliente region, where Agave cupreata grows wild on the slopes of the Balsas River basin. Michoacán joined the mezcal denomination of origin in 2012, and families here still roast agave in earthen pits and distill their mezcal by hand.
