'''Savoie''' (/sa.vwa/), also known as Vin de Savoie, is a wine region in eastern France situated in the foothills of the Alps near the borders with Switzerland and Italy. Viticulture in this area is shaped by a combination of mountain influences, varied altitudes, and complex geology, producing wines that are often associated with freshness and marked acidity<ref>Johnson & Robinson, ''The World Atlas of Wine'', 8th ed., Mitchell Beazley, 2019, ISBN 978-1784724030.</ref>. While modest in overall production, Savoie is notable for its diversity of grape varieties and appellations, many of which are rooted in long-standing local traditions<ref>Vitisphere, "Vins de Savoie: Histoire et Terroir", vitisphere.com.</ref>.
