Wine subregions of Anatolia Mid-southern Anatolia (around 12 percent of national production) consists of the provinces Kayseri, Kirsehir, Aksarayi and Nigde.

In these countries archaeological finds which support their cause are usually heavily publicized. The oldest permanent winemaking facility found to date – from 4,100BC - is actually located in the Areni-1 cave Complex of Armenia. Evidence of viticulture and more ad hoc grape Fermentation dates much to at least 7,000BC in China, and 5,000BC or earlier in Anatolia.
