Bremm CalmontPhoto: Deutsches Weininstitut
Bremm Calmont. With a slope of up to 68 degrees and a height of 380 metres, the Bremm Calmont is one of the steepest vineyards in Europe. There is written evidence of viticulture in the Calmont since about the year 1000, but indications suggest that the Romans were already cultivating grapes here much earlier. The name of the mountain derives from the Latin calidus mons (hot mountain) or, less likely, from calvus mons (bare mountain). According to the German wine law of 1971, the district of Eller in the neighbouring municipality of Ediger-Eller also owns shares of the Calmont. As a result of unprofitable cultivation, a good five-sixths of the originally planted vineyard area lay fallow in the 1990s. At the turn of the millennium, the Bremm winemaker Ulrich Franzen († 2010) recultivated the 1.8 hectare Fachkaul and planted cross terraces there.
