The wild Euro Asiatic grape occupies an area which extends for approximately 6000 Km squared from East to West, from central Asia to Spain, for approximately 1200 Km from South to North, from western Africa to northern Crimea.Vavilov N.I. the Russian botanist, who founded the modern Geobotanic and Biodiversity, discovered in Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan some of the possible areas of origin and spread of the grape. Such width area, than extends from the Black Sea to the Caspian , is dominated by the Caucasus mountain (natural barrier between Europe and Asia). Its geomorphology is dominated by large valleys with moderated climate, between the rivers Kura and Arakas, which seem to supply the environmental conditions sweet able for the cultivation of grape. Moreover there are many vegetable species (more than 6000) which cohabit with the three main families of wild and domestic vitis vinifera.
