This was the world’s first demarcated wine region, having been founded in 1756. The landscape was shaped the human activity transformed the schist slopes with earth and walls, and the planting of vines that turn from summer green to fiery red in autumn. Over generations of careful viticulture, the terraces have been angled to best catch the sun and ripen the grapes to produce great wines. AFP PHOTO/ JOSE MANUEL
