The inspiration for the name "Cinabrio" stemmed from the vibrant hue of red, a shade that held significance in ancient Maya culture and was achieved through the use of the mineral known as cinnabar, also called Cinabrio. In Mayan mythology, red symbolized the revered deity Kinich Ahau, who represented the sun.
Deep within each bottle of Cihuatán Cinabrio, you will discover a profound connection to Mayan folklore in the form of the Sleeping Woman, a guardian goddess entrusted with protecting the Cihuatán valley. According to legend, the Sleeping Woman would act as an intermediary on behalf of the people of Cihuatán, entreating Kinich Ahau to infuse the valley with his nurturing warmth. Symbolizing Kinich Ahau were two hummingbirds, emblematic of his presence and power.
