LA SOCARRADA
In 1968 the archaeologist from Vilafranca del Penedès Pere Giró, found in the vineyard of "La Socarrada" several remains of Iberian origin dating from the 1st century BC. Among others, there were whole ceramic amphorae. Preparing this macabeu with ceramics is a way to connect with a place that has witnessed viticulture for 2000 years.
The label drawn by our son Joan Milà de Cara represents a sun that burns ("Socarra" in catalan) in honor of the name's plot, but can also remind us the zenithal view of the wine when it ferments into the clay amphora.
You can accompany fish dishes made with sauces of more intensity, Iberian sausages and soft paste cheeses.
