The aim of this article is to assess the relationship between the history of viticulture in Catalonia and the Catalan Designations of Origin (DO) through their significant brands.
The origins of Catalan viticulture go back to Iberian culture through Phoenician and Greek contacts, consolidation with the Romans, and expansion during the Middle Ages. Some areas became DOs that strengthen the geographical link with the territory where quality wine was produced. Some of them show this historical origin in their distinctive brands, for example, the Greeks (DO Empordà), the Romans (DO Tarragona), or the medieval period (DOQ Priorat).
