History: The Denomination of Origin DO Tarragona is located in the south of Catalonia, on the Mediterranean coast. The origin of this DO is not precisely known. Historically, it is established that the vine was already cultivated in Tarragona when the Greek and Phoenician colonies settled in Catalonia about 3,000 years ago.But the real driver of wines in Tarragona was the Roman Empire, 2,000 years ago.
