“…the overseas wines maintained their prestige and this until the time of our grandparents, even when Falerno had already been discovered…”. Pliny Virgil in the Georgics states: “Nec cellis ideo contende Falernis”, or “Therefore no wine can be compared with Falerno”. “Aedon makes it known: here you drink for 1 axis; if you pay 2, you will drink a better wine; with 4, you will have Falerno wine”. Found in Pompeii.
