Luxurious Ancient Roman Winery Unearthed at Villa of the Quintilli.

An opulent winery dating back to the mid-third century was discovered near Rome, which was made to give the Roman elite a theatrical experience of watching the winemaking process. The winery has two presses, a vat for the collection of grape must, a marble grape-treading area, channels that connect to storage jars, and a wine cellar. The site is located at the Villa of the Quintilii, which is located southeast of Rome on the ancient Appian Way and is open to the public.
