EUROPE

Across Atlantic coasts and continental plains, a patchwork of mesoclimates, soils and varieties defines Europe’s wine identity. Appellation frameworks such as AOC, DOCG, DO or VDP—alongside EU PDO/PGI rules—protect origin, set yields and turn terroir into the central currency. Schist, limestone, loess and volcanic substrates underpin both single-estate thinking and Cru hierarchies, while tradition is refined by selective hand harvest, spontaneous fermentations and élevage in foudre, barrique or amphora that keeps place in focus. Diversity becomes the constant, and provenance the clearest quality code.
