Alma De Trabanco Quinquina En Rama Edicion Especial 1 L

Alma de Trabanco Quinquina en Rama is a new aperitif from Trabanco, the most iconic natural cider house in Asturias, Spain. Alma was born from memories of founder Emilio Trabanco, who would add a little cider to his vermouth, thus balancing the sweetness of vermouth with the refreshing acidity of his cider. Alma is the refinement of decades of local tradition.\n\nTrabanco is synonymous with natural cider, as the family has been a pioneer in its production since 1925. Here the focus has always been on quality and following traditional cider making methods of their native Asturias. Asturias is situated directly on the Cantabrian Sea, the historic center of Spain’s apple production and source of some of the world’s most incredible seafood.\n\nOne of the most important traditions Trabanco keeps alive is their dedication to the utilization of fermentation and storage in traditional large wood barrels, many of which are a century old. These massive barrels are the size of a small house and living inside each of them is a unique microclimate created by decades of natural yeast fermentation. Each barrel is unique and alive, as the wood has memory, which imparts an unmatched complexity in Trabanco cider. Most other houses have given up wood barrels for stainless steel fermentation with commercial yeasts, which does not impart the same complexity to the cider.
