Armenia Wine Company
Armenian viticulture has over 6200 years of history. It is, in fact, the oldest center for the domestication of Vitis vinifera, which then spread to the regions of the Eastern Mediterranean and Greece. The region is located at the border between the European and Asian continents. Evidence of this ancient tradition has been found in the Areni cave, in the Vayots Dzor region, where a winemaking site with clay vats for fermentation and wine storage was discovered. A simple and archaic wine production process, re-evaluated in recent decades by many European producers, who have drawn inspiration from Armenia to return to the origins of wine.
The area is characterized by very suitable conditions for viticulture. The soils are rather poor and arid, of ancient volcanic nature, stony and sandy. The climate is continental, with long, cold winters and hot, dry summers. The vineyards are cultivated at an altitude ranging from 850 to 1650 meters above sea level and feature a rich biodiversity of indigenous grape varieties, which have been present in these lands for millennia. Ancient varieties that have reached our days through spontaneous crossings, which are often at the origins of many grape varieties in modern viticulture. Armenia Wine was born from the desire to protect, enhance, and promote this extraordinary heritage, combining history, tradition, and modern enological knowledge.
Armenia Wine is a family-run estate, created in 2006 with the planting of the first vineyards and the construction of the winery in 2008, equipped with cutting-edge technologies, yet at the service of tradition. From this combination of savoir-faire and customs of the past and modernity, a range of high-quality wines emerges, capable of expressing the extraordinary potential of this land, which has remained on the fringes of the international wine world for many centuries. The vineyards are located in the main wine regions of the country: Armavir, Ararat, Aragatsotn, and Vayots Dzori. Among the rows, the indigenous grape varieties of Armenia find space, which give voice to the most authentic expression of the terroir: Kangun, Areni, Karmrahyut, Haghtanak, Voskehat, Tshilar, Garan dmak, Rkatsiteli, and Saperavi.
