The history of wine and its origins
Wine is one of the oldest beverages in history. The earliest traces date back more than 7,000 years to the Caucasus, where the first wines were produced from fermented grapes. From the Middle East to Egypt, wine had a religious and social role: it was used in rituals and considered a symbol of prestige and wealth.
The Greeks and viticulture
The Greeks developed viticulture and integrated it into social life. Wine became part of symposia, cultural events and convivial moments, consolidating its cultural value.
The Romans spread wine production throughout Europe, perfecting the techniques of cultivation, fermentation and storage. During the Middle Ages, monasteries were the main custodians of wine knowledge. Since the Renaissance, wine also became an important commercial product. Today it represents culture, tradition and territory: each bottle tells centuries of wine history and passion, combining taste, art and local identity.
