WHAT IS A WINE APPELLATION?
A wine appellation is a designated growing area, a geographical indication legally defined and protected, used to identify where a wine was produced. It is governed by the rules and regulations established by its federal government and local governing body. It sets regulations on factors such as grape varieties, winemaking techniques, and quality standards to ensure consistency and authenticity.
