Florinda-Cava
Penedes, Spain
Florinda is the ancient mythological goddess of flowers, blossoming and fertility. In one story, Florinda is said to have given a magic flower to her virgin sister that would allow her to birth a child from a lost lover. Her season is spring and the month of April is said to be named after her. Each spring, a festival symbolizing the renewal of the cycle of life, drinking and blooming flowers was held in her honor. This gala was filled with dancing, drinking and laughter. It was given over to merriment and celebrations of an amorous nature. Drink this wine and memorialize the legendary Florinda.
