microvineyards
Microvineyards are small-scale vineyards that typically produce less than 10,000 cases of wine per year. They are often family-owned and operated, with a focus on quality over quantity. Microvineyards are found in various regions around the world, including France, Italy, and the United States. These vineyards are known for their unique terroir, which is the combination of soil, climate, and topography that influences the flavor and quality of the wine. Microvineyards often use traditional winemaking techniques and may produce a limited number of wines each year. They are an important part of the wine industry, as they provide a diverse range of wines that reflect the unique characteristics of their terroir. Microvineyards also play a significant role in preserving traditional winemaking practices and supporting local economies.
