The Estate<\/h1>\n\t<\/div> [vc_column_text css=”” css_animation=””]The estate where the wine Principi di Mola was born is situated in the municipality of Rod\u00ec Milici, in a hill very well ventilated and sunny, situated between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Mountains of Nebrodi. Here, since generations, the terrain provides fine grapes that produce a wine of excellent flavor since the 3rd century B.C.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″ css_animation=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”1″ css_animation=””][vc_column css_animation=”” offset=”vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-4″]\n\t

History<\/p>\n\t\t

The mamertines<\/h1>\n\t<\/div> [vc_column_text css=”” css_animation=””]The Mamertines (Greek: \u039c\u03b1\u03bc\u03b5\u03c1\u03c4\u1fd6\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9), i.e. \u2018sons of Mamerte\u2019 or Mamers (the Oscan god of war, who corresponded to the Latin Mars), were mercenary soldiers, most famous for playing a leading role in the outbreak of the First Punic War.<\/p>\n

Mostly of Campanian origin, they were enlisted between the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 3rd century BC by Agathocles, tyrant of Syracuse. When the latter died in 289 B.C., most of the Mamertines, left without work, returned home, while others remained on the island. Some of them treacherously seized the Greek city of Messina, located on the straits, in a strategically important position. They then took the name Mamertini.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css_animation=”” offset=”vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-4″][vc_single_image image=”2750″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” css=”” css_animation=””][vc_column_text css=”” css_animation=””]Minor protagonists of the Punic Wars, they are remembered for their warlike actions that contributed to Rome’s successes over Carthage.
\nOnce the Punic wars were over, the remaining Mamertines continued the traditional agricultural activities of the area and planted in the hilly areas adjacent to Milazzo a valuable vine, from whose fruit was born one of the wines most appreciated by the Romans.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css_animation=”” offset=”vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-4″][vc_column_text css=”” css_animation=””]The Mamertine trade was in fact very flourishing, especially among Roman patricians and others, which is why it became a much sought-after wine. Its goodness was such that Julius Caesar recounts in \u2018De Bello Gallico\u2019 that he offered it to his diners at a banquet held to celebrate his third consulate. Pliny the Elder also commented positively on Mamertino, describing it as a wine worthy of the Emperors’ table.<\/p>\n
