Calmont

The name given to a distinctive ridge between the municipalities of Bremm and Ediger-Eller (in the Cochem Castle area) in the German Mosel wine-growing region. The two single-vineyard sites,Bremmer Calmont and Ellerer Calmont, are situated on its slopes. Only the names of the vineyards are listed in the vineyard register; in this case, ‘Calmont’. However, on the label, the district name ‘Bremmer’ or ‘Ellerer’ must also be included.

History

Excavations on the Calmont ridge prove that viticulture was already practised here by the Romans around the turn of the millennium. A Roman mountain sanctuary from the second century was situated on the hill. Extensive archaeological excavations took place from 2005 onwards. The Gallo-Roman temple discovered during these excavations was reconstructed and rebuilt. The Roman poet Venantius Fortunatus (530–610) described the Calmont in a poem written during a boat trip on the Moselle around 588. The name derives either from the Latin ‘calvus mons’ (bald mountain, rock) or ‘calidus mons’ (hot mountain), or from the Celtic ‘kal’ (hard = Felsenberg). Other single-vineyard sites in Bremen include Abtei Klosterstuben, Frauenberg, Laurentiusberg and Schlemmertröpfchen.
