A Gratallops family winery making wine since 1942 and recorded as the first cellar registered when the Priorat appellation rules took effect in 1954.

Producer identity

1942 production and 1954 registration

Celler Cecilio traces its first wine to 1942. The producer states that Cecilio Vicent became the first winery registered with the Priorat regulatory body when the designation's rules were officially published in 1954.

Those dates describe first production and later formal registration, not rival founding claims. The family producer remains based at Carrer Piró in Gratallops.

Current wine evidence

Three current red identities

Cecilio Negre

A principal red identity within the family range. Blend and ageing details remain specific to each vintage.

L’Espill

A separate Celler Cecilio wine rather than another producer or estate.

L’Udol

A third red identity in current regional wine-tourism records. Its name does not enlarge the winery count.
