Andalucia
Andalusia is, excluding the islands, among the southernmost regions of Spain, which has become famous throughout the world for the production of Sherry fortified wine. A very populous area, due to its proximity to the African continent it has been affected by an incessant succession of migrations which over time have led to the desire to sculpt a strong and unique cultural identity: bullfighting and flamenco originated in Andalusia. The region also boasts a long wine making history but, although table wines are also produced, the strong point is certainly represented by fortified wines. It is no coincidence that the region hosts 5 sub-regions in which mainly fortified or dessert wines with a designation of origin are produced: Jerez, historic port and home of Sherry, Sanlucar de Barrameda known for its Manzanilla, Montilla-Moriles specializing in wines from unfortified desserts made from Moscatel, Malaga and Condado de Huelva grapes.
