The oldest wine "farm" founded in Armenia

Unfortunately the article is in Italian (if you are interested I can translate the main parts); anyway, they have found very probably, the first wine farm....we are talking 6.000 years ago, 4.000 b.c. !

Grazie, Viscardo, e benvenuto! Fascinating article, even when we follow along with only marginal Italian. (Google Translate can also help, although it's awkward at times.)

This looks like a catchup on Areni-1 about which there's a lot of info in the English language press and online, including this http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news ... ence-ucla/

Interesting article, Viscardo. Thanks for sharing that.

And....ahem...it should be noted that I've followed this wine farm from the very start. :roll:
