Aosta Valley has a long history of winemaking, with evidence of viticulture dating back to the Roman Empire. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Aosta became part of the Kingdom of Burgundy and was then ruled by the royal family of Italy – the House of Savoy – until the Italian unification in 1861.
