The Effect of Geomorphology and Subsoil on the Quality Characteristics of Produced Wines: A Review

Enologist MSc, Aigion, Greece

Abstract: Wine production is a complex process that depends on various natural and anthropogenic factors. One of the most important natural factors is geomorphology, which includes the form and structure of the soil and landscape. The geomorphology significantly influences the growth of the vines and, consequently, the quality characteristics of the wines produced. Understanding the geomorphology of an area and its effect on the vines is critical to successful cultivation and production of high-quality wines.
