Natural cider "ALICIA"

First natural "author´s cider" of Sidra Trabanco, thought and elaborated for its consumption in glass, without need to pour it from up high. 

Its elegant and innovative presentation permits its approach to the wine sector, proposing it as an alternative to white wine consumption.

Serve into glass at about 10ºC, ideal at any moment of the day and for all kinds of locals and consumers.

Our cider in glass is a natural cider, handcrafted and selected from the best wooden chestnut barrels. Its slow and measured fermentation takes place in our historic winery, made of stone and with a high level of humidity, situated in the green valley of Lavandera.

The valley of Lavandera and its neighbour villages provide us with centenary family plantations where little Samuel, together with his brothers, harvested apples with his mother Alicia.

Those are apple trees with an important historic and familiar load, which besides grow on limestone and very steep grounds, causing an apple harvest which means almost heroic agriculture. 

These types of grounds, near to dense and wild forests with a peculiar incidence of the sun, typical for our Asturian climate, offers us a delicious and aromatic red apple, up to this moment not very well-known for the elaboration of this special cider. 

All the wisdom and experience of our cider master Samuel Trabanco is being reflected in this cider, the result of a whole life dedicated to the elaboration of cider. Alicia is a look at the past, at the memories of autumn and at a mother in the family apple plantations, seen with the eyes of a child.

According to his words "this cider is the result of the tenderness and the passion to achieve what until this moment is doubtless my best cider, my stamp of identity".

Perfect to combine with fish, seafood, sushi, rice and noodles
