the name
|
The Tramontana, called Cercium in the chronicles of the Roman historians, has always marked the character of the people and the wines of the Empordà.
The wine CERCIUM comes from the vineyards of the Mas Llunes, cultivated in Garriguella in harsh and rough terrain and strongly influenced by this wind from the north.

The different varieties are fermented separately in fermentation tanks of stainless steel and cooled to a temperature of 20ºC. They are stirred twice daily and emptied/drained after 30-40 days from the start of fermentation depending on variety. The prolonged incubation is determined by tasting.
The fermentation malolactic is carried out in the warehouse.

tasting notes
|
A cherry colour with a violet rim. Fresh aroma, expressive and intense, hints of chocolate and very fruity (cherry and cranberry...). In the mouth it is fresh and structured and fruity with discreet notes of beautifully integrated oak.

|
gastronomic notes
|
Very versatile. It is a perfect match for white and red meats, sausages, cheese, salads and starters with a vegetable base, seafood, fish and rice.
