El cultivo <strong>de</strong> la vid y la elaboración<br />
<strong>de</strong> <strong>vino</strong>s, protagonistas en<br />
Cangas <strong>de</strong>l Narcea.<br />
Vine growing and wine production take<br />
the centre stage in Cangas <strong>de</strong>l Narcea.<br />
El cultivo <strong>de</strong> la vid y la elaboración <strong>de</strong> <strong>vino</strong>s han sido tradicionales<br />
en la zona Occi<strong>de</strong>ntal <strong>de</strong> <strong>Asturias</strong> <strong>de</strong>s<strong>de</strong> la Edad Media.<br />
No obstante <strong>de</strong>s<strong>de</strong> mediados <strong>de</strong>l siglo XIX la actividad <strong>de</strong>cayó<br />
hasta finales <strong>de</strong>l siglo XX. En 1997 se constituyó con el respaldo<br />
<strong>de</strong> la Administración, la Asociación <strong>de</strong> Productores y Elaboradores<br />
<strong>de</strong> Vino <strong>de</strong> Cangas, iniciándose un proceso <strong>de</strong> mo<strong>de</strong>rnización<br />
<strong>de</strong> los viñedos y formación <strong>de</strong> los viticultores. Esa<br />
tradición ha sido recuperada, ha obtenido la IGP y las primeras<br />
cosechas <strong>de</strong> <strong>vino</strong>s blancos y tintos han recibido numerosos elogios<br />
por parte <strong>de</strong> la crítica nacional e internacional.<br />
El agua mineral es otra <strong>de</strong> las bebidas que goza <strong>de</strong> gran<br />
tradición en <strong>Asturias</strong>. Existen numerosos manantiales que producen<br />
<strong>aguas</strong> con diferentes cualida<strong>de</strong>s organolépticas y que,<br />
en algunos casos, sirven <strong>de</strong> materia prima para la producción<br />
<strong>de</strong> <strong>aguas</strong> aromatizadas y con sabores <strong>de</strong> frutas.<br />
Vine growing and wine production have been traditional in the<br />
Western area of <strong>Asturias</strong> since the Middle Ages. However, the activity<br />
<strong>de</strong>clined from the mid-19th century until the late-20th century. In 1997, the<br />
Association of Wine Producers and Preparers of Cangas was constituted<br />
with the support of the Authorities, beginning a mo<strong>de</strong>rnisation process<br />
of the vineyards and the training of vine growers. This tradition has been<br />
recovered, has obtained the PGI and the first harvests of white and red wines<br />
have received countless praise from national and international critics.<br />
Mineral water is another of the extremely traditional drinks from <strong>Asturias</strong>.<br />
There are many springs that produce waters with different organoleptic<br />
qualities that, in some cases, are used as raw materials for the production of<br />
aromatised and fruit-flavoured waters.
