Modern archeological and archaebotanical studies have clearly shown that Georgia is among the oldest places of the world where the domestication of the grapevine started and the earliest ‘wine culture’ in the world emerged. Archaeologists discovered several grape pips of the 6th millennium BC in Kvemo Kartli, to the south of Tbilisi, in the Marneuli Valley, in the ruins of the Dangreuli Gora, which, in accordance with morphological and ampelographic features, have been assigned to a cultivated variety of grapevine, Vitis Vinifera Sativa.
